- selfcheck try to return the distro and version of the OS.
- How can it get that information on freebsd? or other bsd?
- How to get the 'FreeBSD' string and the '10.1' string?
uname -s -> 'FreeBSD'/'NetBSD'/'OpenBSD'/'DragonFlyBSD'
uname -r -> '10.1'/'6.1_STABLE'/...
"uname -s" provides the system name, and "uname -r" provides the
OS revision (on every UNIX family system except Linux, where
they return "Linux" and the kernel revision. A side effect of
how Linux distributions are created.)
Other interesting attributes provided by a BSD uname (I've long
since forgotten about HP-UX and Solaris and IRIX, sorry):
uname -m -> machine hardware name (i386/amd64/etc)
uname -n -> node name (aka short system name)
uname -p -> machine processor architecture name
