Have you tried to use the contents of /etc/issue ?  Typically for
RedHat/Fedora this will have the release in it, and (for Sarge at least)
this is also the case for Debian.  I've done a dist-upgrade on this box
and the file shows the correct version number at least...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 \n \l

The problem is that that is almost certainly a conffile. It is the system logon message, and sysadmins are free to change it at will.
