Any distro worth using should support the LSB standards. With that
being said, you can use the 'lsb_release' command to find out exactly
what distribution and version is being used.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ lsb_release --help
Usage: lsb_release [options]

Options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -v, --version      show LSB modules this system supports
  -i, --id           show distributor ID
  -d, --description  show description of this distribution
  -r, --release      show release number of this distribution
  -c, --codename     show code name of this distribution
  -a, --all          show all of the above information
  -s, --short        show all of the above information in short format
