How do I know which distro I am running on?

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

Good idea, since the other suggestions involve files that could be edited 
to mislead.  That is, if the info gets into dmesg from the kernel, not just 
from reading a file.  Of course if it does come from the kernel, the 
information will be different for a non-standard kernel.
