think i have finally found that command, though i need you guys to counter-check and verify it on your respective distributions of gnulinux.
it occured to me through a throught that struck me watch a pc boot up "wonder how they do so much branding of the distribution during boot up but never afterwards...?' and then the magic command: $ dmesg |less the top line(s) will usually give you the distribution name, and the version. have verified this for redhat7.2, redhat 8.0. can a few of you check it out on your various distributions and lemme know if this holds true for all?
