Yes, you check "the systemVersion"... see the tip at:

Ken:

The systemVersion on my Ubuntu 6.06.1 ("Dapper Drake") gives:
Linux 2.6.15-28-386  [the kernel??]

Do you think that anything useful might be gained by attempting to 
provide a similar table for Linux?

I would be happy (or happier at least) if I knew how to discover the 
name of the distro (e.g. "Ubuntu", "Puppy", "Linspire", "Mepis", etc.).
