Re: How do I know which distro I am running on?

Good idea, since the other suggestions involve files that could be edited to mislead. That is, if the info gets into dmesg from the kernel, not just from reading a file. Of course if it does come from the kernel, the information will be different for a non-standard kernel.

It's the first line of dmesg.
