Hello List,
I'm looking for a proper way to detect the type of Linux distro.
At first I thought about /etc/issue, but it seems that some are
abusing this file.
Many distro's uses /etc/XXXX__release, where XXXX is their name, but
it's not a proper way either to detect, because not everyone uses it.
Any additional ideas ?
Most distros also include their name in the kernel, so using "uname -a"
could also give a hint. But AFAIK there is no common place where all
distros store the name.
Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.
