How can I find out what distro is a server running?
 
Hi,

I need to find out if a server I'm connecting to is Fedora Core 5 or not. Can somebody please tell me how can I find out the distribution name and version? I only have ssh access.

ssh to server and read /etc/issue.
less /etc/issue
this file contains name of the distro and version .
