We run several servers including Caldera, Mandrake and FreeBSD.
When SSH'ed into them, it is easy to forget which system I am on.

I can figure it out quick enough, but was wondering if there is a common way to easily confirm which distro is running?

I guess something similar to the old ver in DOS :)

Mandrake is easy, ls -al /boot to see the vmlinuz
