本文介绍了如何使用'uname'命令来获取Linux内核信息，并提供了一种检查发行版及版本号的方法，即通过查看'/etc/something-release'文件。示例展示了在Ubuntu 9.04系统上使用'lsb_release'工具获取详细发行版信息的过程。

The kernel is universally detected with 'uname':

$ uname -or
2.6.18-128.el5 GNU/Linux

There really isn't a cross-distribution way to determine what distribution and version you're on. There are attempts to make this consistent, but it ultimately varies, unfortunately. LSB tools provide this information, but ironically aren't installed by default everywhere. Example on an Ubuntu 9.04 system with the lsb-release package installed:

$ lsb_release -irc
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Release:        9.04
Codename:       jaunty

Otherwise, the closest widely-available method is checking "/etc/something-release" files. These are common on most of the common platforms, or on their derivatives (ie Red Hat and CentOS).
