if you have ssh mapped at your home router and enabled on your home 
Linux system, then install putty.  it is a windows based ssh client that 
is very small and works great.  once you are logged in, then you can run 
the uname -a command with no issues.

you will need either an IP for the house or a dynamic DNS name 
application like dyndns.
