No problem, "uname" to the rescue:

uname -a 

here a complete list of options (from man page):

-a      Behave as though all of the options -mnrsv were specified.

-m      print the machine hardware name.

-n      print the nodename (the nodename may be a name that the system is known by to a communications network).

-p      print the machine processor architecture name.

-r      print the operating system release.

-s      print the operating system name.
