I think it might be posted in your

Code:
/proc/cpuinfo

if it is a linux machine. /proc based systems are present on Linux. Havnt seen them on Solaris. Not sure about other distro's.

Here is a script I had to check out the Linux distro. (It might be useful.)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Detects which OS and if it is Linux then it will detect which Linux Distribution.

OS=`uname -s`
REV=`uname -r`
MACH=`uname -m`

GetVersionFromFile()
{
        VERSION=`cat $1 | tr "\n" ' ' | sed s/.*VERSION.*=\ // `
}

if [ "${OS}" = "SunOS" ] ; then
        OS=Solaris
        ARCH=`uname -p`
        OSSTR="${OS} ${REV}(${ARCH} `uname -v`)"
elif [ "${OS}" = "AIX" ] ; then
        OSSTR="${OS} `oslevel` (`oslevel -r`)"
elif [ "${OS}" = "Linux" ] ; then
        KERNEL=`uname -r`
        if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] ; then
                DIST='RedHat'
                PSUEDONAME=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*\(// | sed s/\)//`
                REV=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*release\ // | sed s/\ .*//`
        elif [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ] ; then
                DIST=`cat /etc/SuSE-release | tr "\n" ' '| sed s/VERSION.*//`
                REV=`cat /etc/SuSE-release | tr "\n" ' ' | sed s/.*=\ //`
        elif [ -f /etc/mandrake-release ] ; then
                DIST='Mandrake'

                REV=`cat /etc/mandrake-release | sed s/.*release\ // | sed s/\ .*//`
        elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ] ; then
                DIST="Debian `cat /etc/debian_version`"
                REV=""

        fi

SYNOPSIS

       chdist [options] [command] [command parameters]

DESCRIPTION

       chdist is a rewrite of what used to be known as 'MultiDistroTools' (or mdt). Its use is to create 'APT trees' for several distributions,
       making it easy to query the status of packages in other distribution without using chroots, for instance.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Provide a usage message.

       -d, --data-dir DIR
	   Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).

       -a, --arch ARCH
	   Choose architecture (default: `dpkg --print-architecture`).

       --version
	   Display version information.

COMMANDS

       create DIST [URL RELEASE SECTIONS]
	   Prepare a new tree named DIST

       apt-get DIST <update|source|...>
	   Run apt-get inside DIST

       apt-cache DIST <show|showsrc|...>
	   Run apt-cache inside DIST

       apt-rdepends DIST [...]
	   Run apt-rdepends inside DIST

       src2bin DIST SRCPKG
	   List binary packages for SRCPKG in DIST

       bin2src DIST BINPKG
	   List source package for BINPKG in DIST

       compare-packages DIST1 DIST2 [DIST3, ...]
       compare-bin-packages DIST1 DIST2 [DIST3, ...]
	   List versions of packages in several DISTributions

       compare-versions DIST1 DIST2
       compare-bin-versions DIST1 DIST2
	   Same as compare-packages/compare-bin-packages, but also runs dpkg --compare-versions and display where the package is newer.

       compare-src-bin-packages DIST
	   Compare sources and binaries for DIST

       compare-src-bin-versions DIST
	   Same as compare-src-bin-packages, but also run dpkg --compare-versions and display where the package is newer

       grep-dctrl-packages DIST [...]
	   Run grep-dctrl on *_Packages inside DIST

       grep-dctrl-sources DIST [...]
	   Run grep-dctrl on *_Sources inside DIST

       list
	   List available DISTs
