Code:
 1.Install Angstrom  
 2.yourname@pandora:~$ uname -a

My guess:
Code:
Linux my-pandora 2.6.27 #1 Mon Dec 20 12:00:00 UTC 2009 omap3 armv7 armel GNU/Linux

This is just a GUESS of course.
EDIT: changed kernel compilation date to something more credible.

My guess would have been using the same hostname.

just because I am bored, here's mine:
Linux linux-mplu 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
mine seems to show an offset instead of something like "UTC" and a different date format.

It also seems like that doesn't match my time in hours at all, yet I have the correct time in the plasmoid in the bottom right.

Worst guess of all time.

Not a guess, but a reality on a totally different unit.
I doubt there will be anything "x86" in the pandora's kernel.

Anyone got a Beagleboard handy to try?

I assumed that PS1 was "\u@pandora:\w\$ ".

EDIT: missing space in the PS1

yes, I know, my kernel is out of date, but I can't get my network driver to compile against the latest kernel and it is making me very unhappy.

Of course, everyone puts a fake hostname in their prompt instead of the uname -n | cut -f1 -d. every bash using distro's /etc/profile has, I should have known.
What, I do that all the time! I wouldn't dream of using "$(uname -n | cut -f1 -d.)", err, I mean "\h", instead, that would simply be too informative. No, I have a need to deceive myself.
