# uname -mrsn
AIX daimsu 3 001850AF4C00
I know daimsu is the name of the server, but what does everything else mean? :? This is a very old IBM RISC/6000 server.
EDIT: Nevermind. Found out it is a Unix-based distribution by IBM called AIX, version 3.

I understand that you found the ansser, but i am responding to give information to other users who mau have the same question.
uname - prints system information
m - print the machine name
r- print the kernel release
s - print the kernel name
The output is detailed as:
AIX - the machine name
diamsu - the kernel release name
3 - the kernel release number
001850AF4C00 - the machine architecture type
So from those results you would see that the machine is named AIX and it is running the third release of the kernel.0
