Default How to detect if it's debian etc..?
I find it a problem, when I download a distro, I don't know if it's debian-based or something else.

How can I check this?

Thanks.

Is it possible to type in a command in the terminal to know the kernel version and maybe if it is a debian based OS etc..?
