Operating Systems Linux kernel version Post 84501 by vino on Monday 26th of September 2005 06:32:55 AM

Read the man page for uname.

It says

Code:
       -o, --operating-system
              print the operating system

When you log on, you can make your machine show the OS version it is using. I think you need to put it in .bash_profile.

By default it will not show.

But telnet'ing into that machine will show the information.
