Which linux flavor is running

7/13/2017

I want to find out the linux flavor running on the vm created using minikube-kubernetes. I log in to the vm and do a cat /proc/version Linux version 4.9.13 gcc version 5.4.0 (Buildroot 2017.02). Can someone tell me which flavor this is? Obviously not ubuntu as none of the commands man, apt-get work.

lsb_release -ai but you might need to install lsb module.

The minikube distro is custom built using buildroot. It is meant to be a minimal distro and does not include a package manager or package repository.

cat /etc/*release

This works across most distributions.
