S and someone shows you a distro, and you want to know with certainty (almost) what you come to the aid of some commands. I give you the output of my Debian:

cat / etc / issue

Debian GNU / Linux lenny / sid \ n \ l cat / etc / motd Linux Debian 2.6.22-ck1-edmondk # 1 SMP Tue Aug 21 18:58:10 EDT 2007 i686

The programs included with the Debian GNU / Linux system are free software, and the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in / usr / share / doc / * / copyright. Debian GNU / Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Debian also provides the file / etc / debian_version that contains the name of the version

or even

cat / etc / debian_version

lenny / sid

Then you can also use the proc filesystem:

cat / proc / version

Linux version 2.6.22-ck1-edmondk (root @ debian) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070812 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-15)) # 1 SMP Tue Aug 21 18:58:10 EDT 2007

More info can be found in usr / share / doc

Then a high way is to understand that the package manager you use, if apt, rpm, yast. So, Debian, Red Hat, Suse.
