I have customers that I dial into their systems, but I can't tell which distribution that they are running. Most don't know. Sometimes it is easy with something like SCO, but with the different flavors out there like Redhat, Debian, Mandrake, etc....all I can find is the uname command which really only gives me the kernel version.
uname -a should give more than kernel version, but if you look in /etc most distros (well the one's I've used anyway) will make a file with the version. For example, on my Slack box its:
/etc/slackware-version
Distribution: Slackware, (Non-Linux: Solaris 7,8,9; OSX; BeOS)

I don't have that bad a connection, certainly not T1 (SIGH), but not a dialup
either. I guess I'll blame it on having to do too many things at once. . .
From Bangor? I don't know any on a sub right now, but I do have a few buddies who have been on em. And I do have a friend stationed in bangor, but he's a Dental Tech, far from any Nuclear Tech.
Nah, for the most part I only know Hospital Corpsman, not really many nukes, but I do know an X weatherman
Yeah, Bremerton is right next to Bangor which is semi-close to Oak Harbor (~ 3 hours around the sound, 1.5 on a ferry). Bremerton is the ship yard, where Bangor is the sub base, and Oak Harbor is the Air Station.
