Sorry, how do I know what kind of Linux system I'm logging in?

There is probably a file in /etc describing the distro; it will be  
named something like 'redhat-release', 'debian_version', etc. So one  
approach is to
ssh into the host and run 'ls -al /etc/*{version,release} 2>/dev/ 
null'.  It's possible it's either a distro we don't support or someone  
removed the file so we can't determine what it is.
