Define what you mean by "more structured." What specific information are you
looking for and how do you need to display it?
Do you need to get the information from Oracle so that the result is not
platform dependent (Windows vs UNIX) or do you just need to support UNIX and
Linux and OS methods like you display with lsb_release are fine?
On UNIX/Linux the uname utility has numerous options that can be used to
extract the OS version, release, server name, etc...

Subject: dbms_utility.port_string alternative or enhancement
We can get some info about our Oracle DBMS host platform using old and good
dbms_utility.port_string.
[11g]> select dbms_utility.port_string from dual;
PORT_STRING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x86_64/Linux 2.4.xx
[11g]> select dbms_utility.port_string from dual;
PORT_STRING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM AIX64/RS6000 V4 - 8.1.0
?Is there a way to get this information is more structured way? For example, on
Linux Systems, we can get detailed and structures info about OS using
lsb_release:
[oracle@vasco P01CT1 /home/oracle]$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: 1.3
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseAS
