I have a quick question for everyone, I have to write an installation script
for a piece of software on linux, however, this product is supported on
multiple distribution types. I need some definitive way of determining a
SYSTYPE variable to the tune of

        cat /path/to/item | grep Redhat


        Etc...

The distributions do handle things differently, but some common piece must
be shared. I was originally figuring on doing a cat on /proc/version,
however, this only greps out the current kernel version, and on machines
with custom kernels, is basically useless.


Any help would be nice
