Disable Seccomp when running old Linux kernel

[clehner]

for those of us running i.e. a 2.x kernel with 3.x headers, for some reason

Good thought, can you scrub the name though so that it doesn't erroneously skip on my machine?

This should work:
var releaseNum = Number(release.replace(/^([0-9]+.[0-9]+).*$/, function (all, capA) { return capA; });
if (Number.isNaN(releaseNum)) { throw new Error("Could not parse kernel version [" + release + "]"); }

And then do number comparison instead of string comparison. if (releaseNum < 3.5) ....

[clehner]

Ah yes, I forgot string comparison doesn't work great with numbers in strings.

Well, 3.13 < 3.5 == '3.13.0-29-generic' < '3.5' == true, which isn't what we want. If you don't mind another dependency, I would add semver so we can get semver.lt('3.13.0-29-generic', '3.5.0') == false

it sucks but I'll live with it
