I think lsb_release provides the best canonical way to identify the Linux OS type. It's part of the Linux Standards Base, and can be installed easily from the package system on most any linux distro. Some examples: wst...@sage:~$ lsb_release -d -s Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS wst...@sage:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy My script here computes canonical names for Sage binaries: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/bin/botdist -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
