Yes. Get any of the page-header viewing tools like Fiddler or HTTPWatch, browse to the site in question, and examine the Header info. It'll be listed.

the Server header that is returned will tell you something about the web server software but not exactly the operating system. if it's an IIS server you can assume it's window-based. that's about it...

Oops, assumed that was the question.
Try googling the NetCraft site and go to its Uptime window.
