Cruiser -
That depends on what type of Unix you are running. If you are on a Linux
system and you want to find every package that was installed with rpm,
then you could type 'rpm -qa'. However, this will not tell you what
kernel you are running... use 'uname -a' for that.
Generally, on *nix systems, 'uname -a' will tell you exactly which OS
version and patchlevel you are running. 'dmesg' can give some good
information too (mostly hardware related).
