The best way to know you os depends on distro but usually are located in /etc/*release*.
Check your own (it should be /etc/fedora-release on fedora distro)
About your result I suggest you have a look on the manual (man uname) for details but for a quick explanation you are :
running linux kernel with version 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4smp compiled september 28 on x86 arch (32bits) with SMP mode on host named dell.domain.net.
