Hi all,

I wonder what's the best way to determin which Linux distribution I am using
through command line interface? I have no phisical access to the PC, i got ssh
connection only.

Thanks

Depends on distribution and release. In no particular order:


lsb_release -a
cat /etc/*release
cat /etc/*version
cat /proc/*version
