Bob's right, the version number from uname only tells you about the kernel, and not whether, for example, the Cocoa API is on the system (it wouldn't be on a standalone Darwin OS install, which will have the same uname output).
Just FYI, /usr/bin/sw_vers parses /System/Library/CoreServices/ SystemVersion.plist, which is XML. If you want that info, parsing the file may be more efficient than forking off sw_vers.

I forgot. The current code recognizes 'Rhapsody' and maps it to "MacOS X Server". But I don't see any evidence that Apple still uses the code name Rhapsody. Does uname ever return 'Rhapsody'?
