This may seem like a really daft question, but, how do you tell what
distro a box is? I'm working on a server I set up a few years back but I
can't remember whether it's mandrake or redhat, let alone work out which
version it is. I had a quick look in /proc/sys/ but can only find kernel
type info. any ideas?
See if the following returns anything useful...
cat /etc/*{version,release}
