You can identify it based on the /etc/issue file, which contains the 
information that you might have set in DISTRO_NAME and DISTRO_VERSION in 
your distro.

For example from poky.conf
DISTRO_NAME = "Poky 8.0 (Yocto Project 1.3 Reference Distro)"
DISTRO_VERSION = "1.3+snapshot-${DATE}"

oe-core alone does not se any default name, but version as follows:
DISTRO_VERSION ??= "oe-core.0"

These go into the issue file via the base_files recipe.

Sau!
