Can't you just do uname -a?
That usually works if you are running a distro provided kernel (as then the kernel version (uname -v) that is returned likely contains the distro name), however if you build your own kernel then this command won't identify the distro.
It's also possible that some smaller distros might not provide this information in their stock kernels.
