using uname -a gives the make of os, h/w, kernel information.

Linux uname doesn't tell what OS you are running but only the kernel release.
Try looking for a /etc/*elease* file.

  2. Linux uname does tell you the OS you're running (Linux) but not what distribution. different Distribution != different OS
