How do I know which distro I am running on?

[Susan Macchia]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how I can find out which distro I am running on?  I can use
uname to find the kernel and basic OS (i686-Linux vs. ia64-Linux, for example),
but I need to know more than that because the same combinations can be found on
a variety of distros.

TIA
