uname won't tell you I'm afraid.
Files you may find some give aways with are:
/etc/issue - contains the banner given by getty for a console login
/etc/issue.net - contains the banner given for network logins
/etc/redhat-release - used by RedHat, Mandrake and possibly others.
/etc/mandrake-release - guess.. :-)
Then there are various commands that can give indications
dpkg or apt-get - indicates that it's a Debian system.
rpm - will indicate one of Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, etc, etc.
rpm -qa | grep -i release
Returns (for me): mandrake-release-9.0-1mdk
That's where /etc/redhat-release and /etc/mandrake-release come from (at least
on my system).
Good luck!
