Any distro using systemd (so, any modern mainstream distro) will have /etc/os-release. You can do `cat /etc/os-release`, but one of the really nice things is that this is also a machine-readable file. You can do
$ source /etc/os-release $ echo $PRETTY_NAME Fedora 29 (Workstation Edition)
I had to use the shorter command ("no such file ..."), but got:
$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="CentOS Linux" VERSION="7 (Core)" ID="centos" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="7" PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7" HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"
So they are still running it. Many thanks!
But I thought your earlier postings showd a 2.6.x kernel, which is not what EL7 runs.
