Does "uname -a" not return acceptable information for what your purpose is? I see a lot of follow ups to this post about release files in /etc and version files in /proc, and how they differ between distros.
I only run Fedora...Fedora5 and Fedora6 so I can't speak for other distros, but when I run this command on my machines they return strings:
Linux Gaea 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 #1 Fri Nov 10 13:04:06 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and
Linux Oceanus 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Mar 10 19:15:16 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
