For example, on my Linux it would be Sys.getenv("OSTYPE"), but my Solaris machine does not having any environment variable set for this. If you want something that is a bit more portable, I would suggest Sys.info()["sysname"] or Platform()$OS.type (Also, if you want your code to run in S as well as R, you might look at my syskern package in DSE on CRAN. It addresses a few compatibility issues like this.)
