Doing "cat /etc/issue" might yield the specific distro, thought not
every one has that file. Uname just displays Linux kernel version and

thanks.
now another (different) question related to the same case, is that
my friend told me the new acer laptop he got came with a linux OS,
not windows,
and when I ask for the uname -a here is what he told me on the phone:
...i686 GNU/linux 2.6.37-netbook-lp-HR #27 SMP...
I did some google search, it looks something called "MeeGo"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo
as a quick remote help solution, I usually guide people through
the teamviewer installation on the phone , and then I'll login the
laptop remotely through teamviewer remote desktop function. I then
can take over and troubleshoot or install applications for them.
but I let him tried downloading at least 3 or 4 different release
for linux and couldn't figure out how to install.
I assume it use either debian apt-get or redhad yum package
management, apt-get doesn't work so I'll guide him to try yum next
time on the phone.
is anyone familiar with this OS and can point out a best solution
as remote help solution on it (including how to install
applications through Internet)?

The way to get this to work is to split your disk (enough room
for windows and linux)
Install windows FIRST, then install Linux
With Ubuntu (which I am familiar with), you can just install
windows, taking the whole disk, then during the Ubuntu install,
you will have the opportunity to resize the disk to make room for
Ubuntu
