If your distro follows the LSB, it should have a file at:
/etc/lsb-release

The content of this file on my Linux box:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ cat lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=5.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=breezy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$
