That's the hostname. I changed this on the device I have, so it's also not that reliable (uname -a gives "Linux poodonkis 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Thu Dec 17 09:40:52 EET 2009 armv7l unknown" here).

This doesn't work on scratchbox, though, which is Maemo, too.

You'll be happy to know that the Nokia method for checking if one of their programs is running in Scratchbox is to check for the existence of the /scratchbox directory.

Huh? /scratchbox exists on my Linux box, too, because I have scratchbox installed on it. Having /scratchbox doesn't mean that you're running in scratchbox, actually.

No point debating it with me (I did say "Nokia method") . If I'm not mistaken, this can be evidenced in some of Diablo's osso-af-init and init.d scripts.
Infact, someone accidently broke the Diablo browser on the N8x0 by having their package create a /scratchbox directory. Upon the next reboot, browserd thought it was running in Scratchbox.
