Redhat linux command to check Version

Hi All,

I need to know RedHat linux version installed on a different servers.
I know uname -a or /proc/version
Is any other command to know the Linux version????

When we telnet to any of the Linux server, the version shows very clearly like
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
Kernel 2.4.21-37.ELsmp on an i686
login:

In similar way can we find same info when telnet service is not enabled?

Thanks & Regards,
Bachegowda
