Have a look in /etc/rc.d, there you could find some Copyrights. 2. Maybe try to run a program named "setup", there the name of the distribution should be displayed. 3. Kernel: Enter "uname -a" and you get a lot of info!

Welcome to Linux 2.0.34.
Hmmmm, seems it doesn't work on my (much hacked) Slackware system.

Other files you might check out are /etc/issue.net, also on my redhat system, in the /etc directory, there is a file called redhat-release which has the version info.

you can put whatever you want in /etc/issue. Try command "uname -a" WEBAUKTION.CH ���g��峹 <71cu7u$mo0$1@ubnnews.unisource.ch>... >Hi > >How can I find out about the distribution and the version number on a linux >shell?? > >Please help me. thanks > >pat > >mueller.computers@duebinet.ch > > >

Maybe if you say what distribution you're running, someone would
have a better idea of where else to look.
