How to find the os and h/w details

Hi
Need to know the version(suse/redhat) and processor info(x86/itanium/amd etc).

I tried uname -a but cannot understand what is what...

Linux myworkhost 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I dont have the root password, I can only ssh and have to install some oracle &weblogic and other softwares based on the os and h/w info.

Any other commands or documents?

Just check in the /proc.......you will find a lot of info about machine hardware and OS.

proc/cpuinfo
Information about the processor, such as its type, make, model, and
performance.

/proc/devices
List of device drivers configured into the currently running kernel.

/proc/dma
Shows which DMA channels are being used at the moment.

/proc/filesystems
Filesystems configured into the kernel.

/proc/interrupts
Shows which interrupts are in use, and how many of each there have been.

/proc/ioports
Which I/O ports are in use at the moment.
