Hmm, dpkg-architecture is unfortunately only in dpkg-dev, so I guess uname is the best bet here. It prints out 'GNU' on GNU/Hurd as opposed to 'Linux' on GNU/Linux' and (so I've been told) e.g. 'GNU/kFreeBSD' on GNU/k*BSD. uname -a yields the following on my Debian GNU/Hurd box: GNU nighthawk.oase.mhn.de 0.3 GNUmach-1.3/Hurd-0.3 i386-AT386 GNU Would that suffice?
