Assume a Linux system where I have ONLY command line access (e.g. through telnet).
How can I find out which Linux version is currently installed (Linux, RedHat, Ubuntu, Debian,....)
and which release number?
There is usually a file in the /etc directory which gives most of this
information. There is, however, no consistent filename.
try: more /etc/*version*
or: more /etc/*issue*
or even: uname -a
As for mail programs, then you probably need to look at the output
of 'ps aux'.
But the main question, of course, is *why* you need this infomation.
It's not as easy to set up linux spam zombies as Windows spam zombies.
