Cmd to determine my OS version? - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

brian.wilson · #1 09-15-2005

I'm looking for a generic (i.e. would be resident in most/all unix flavors) internal command for determining my OS and version. When I telnet to a box here @ work, I get none of that info and can't remember the equivalent of the DOS ver command; I know I used to know this! Thanks.

Try:
uname -a

Thanks, Perderabo. I'll give that a try.
