Determining linux distribution

[Brad Fonseca]

Hi,

Is there a command that will tell me what distribution is being used?  I have 
a friend who was given a refurbished laptop with some distribution of linux 
on it.  It's a very old machine but it runs this distro without difficulty.  
I'm very curious what is being used but I'm unable to ask the installer 
himself as he's unavailable.

Regards,

Brad Fonseca
