Any reason "uname -a" on Suse 10.0 (intel) does not provide the name Suse Linux and 10.0 release information? Other versions of Linux and FreeBSD seem to provide the expected information on the distribution and its respective version.
From a developer point of view is there a reliable/consistent way to obtain Linux distribution name and release information?
