Distribution Question

[Mark Riehl]

Guys,

If someone gives you a Linux machine that is up and running, how do you 
tell which distribution (e.g., Red Hat, Slackware) has been installed on a
machine? 

uname will give me the kernel version, but other than knowing that
Slackware and Red Hat set up using particular directories, is there a
command that will tell me this?

Thanks,
Mark
