command to answer "what's your OS"
Recently in webland I was asked
> What is your OS?
I wanted a single command that would say Debian GNU/Linux,
$ uname -a #no "Debian"
Linux jidanni1 2.6.7-1-k7 #1 Thu Jul 8 06:45:35 EDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/debian_version #doesn't say GNU/Linux.
testing/unstable
$ grep free /etc/motd #kind of sloppy
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
Therefore there is no single standard command that says Debian GNU/Linux.
