FWIW, uname -a prints info about the kernel name, version and build-time, 
the machine name, the OS type (Linux/GNU), the hardware platform 
(X86_64), but it does NOT print anything about the distro.  That uname 
string could have come from pretty much any distro running that kernel 
version on x86_64.  (The el6 bit in the kernel version is a slight clue 
as it's likely to be /reasonably/ distinct, but not much.)

The /etc/issue and/or /etc/release files have traditionally been the 
distro brand/version files (especially on red-hat/fedora compatible 
distros) and what I might have expected to see cat-ed as a response to 
that question, but that too may differ by distro so it's not a given.

(Meanwhile, I believe it /is/ pan, but I'll explain in a different 
post...)
