Recently in webland I was asked
What is your OS?
I wanted a single command that would say Debian GNU/Linux, $ uname -a #no "Debian" Linux jidanni1 2.6.7-1-k7 #1 Thu Jul 8 06:45:35 EDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/debian_version #doesn't say GNU/Linux. testing/unstable $ grep free /etc/motd #kind of sloppy The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
Therefore there is no single standard command that says Debian GNU/Linux.
cat /etc/issue or cat /etc/issue.net
Also works on Slackware[all I have access to] so it seems standard.
