Helo !
Normaly, the "uname -rs" should tell you what OS you are running.
Another easy way will be "dmesg | head -10". Usualy it tells you enough informations about what OS and machine you are using.

CVSMGDIFF(1) Utility Scripts CVSMGDIFF(1)
NAME
cvsmgdiff - uses mgdiff to display differences between any two cvs revisions.
SYNOPSIS
cvsmgdiff [-v|-h|-g gui|-r rev1 [-r rev2]] file ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cvsmgdiff program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
This script lets you recursively diff the CVS directories you have checked out. To use, just pass in an optional revision levels and an
optional file directory name. This script then will show you the differences you're interested in.
OPTIONS
-v Print version information successfully
-h Print help information
-g gui
Use the program gui as the user interface (default: /usr/bin/mgdiff)
-r revision
Specify the CVS revision to view. If just one -r option is given, view differences between that revision and the current file in the
CVS working directory. If two -r options are given, compare those two revisions with each other.
