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

        elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ] ; then
                DIST="Debian `cat /etc/debian_version`"

uname

uname(2)							   System Calls 							  uname(2)

NAME

       uname - get name of current operating system

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/utsname.h>

       int uname(struct utsname *name);

DESCRIPTION

       The uname() function stores information identifying the current operating system in the structure pointed to by name.

       The uname() function uses the utsname structure, defined in <sys/utsname.h>, whose members include:

       char    sysname[SYS_NMLN];
       char    nodename[SYS_NMLN];
       char    release[SYS_NMLN];
       char    version[SYS_NMLN];
       char    machine[SYS_NMLN];

       The  uname()  function returns a null-terminated character string naming the current operating system in the character array sysname. Simi-
       larly, the nodename member contains the name by which the system is known on a communications network.  The  release  and  version  members
       further identify the operating system. The machine member contains a standard name that identifies the hardware on which the operating sys-
       tem is running.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, a non-negative value is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The uname() function will fail if:

       EFAULT	       The name argument points to an illegal address.
