Yes, of course there are other (more proper) ways to access this info than 
via /proc. That's the point though. I say this as a very happy linux 
user...The World Is Not A Linux Box(tm). Don't let this self-serving 
machismo attitude take hold of you, because in the end there's a better 
way than using /proc anyways, and if you *do* use proc, you'll do nothing 
but succeed in pissing other people off.
