Hi, Peter, This way you get only the kernel version and system name (its saturn on the cendec domain). In case you know it's RedHat, the command below command will help you to determine its release: cat /etc/redhat-release for Mandrake cat /etc/mandrake-release I am not sure about SuSe maybe: cat /etc/suse-release Regards Ray Peter Van den Wildenbergh wrote: Good-evening all : Given a ssh connection to a linux box. at the command line I type uname -a Linux saturn.cendec 2.4.18-24.7.x #1 Fri Jan 31 07:06:03 GMT 2003 i686 unknown But how do I find that it is a redhat/suse or mandrake ? (I know it is a redhat) but I don't know its version 7.0 / 7.3 ??? (The cmd line is all I have no gnome/KDE no fysical access to the box...) Peter It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case U2 - beautiful day
