Re: [LCP]Linux release

["Luciano A. Stertz" <luciano@tteng.com.br>]

    Every Linux distribution has a file on /etc that says something about it:

    red hat:
    /etc/redhat-release

    suse:
    /etc/SuSE-release

    debian:
    /etc/debian-release

    ...

    Well, I'm not sure if the filenames are exacly like that. The contents of those
files are very different from one distribution to other.

    Sorry for the bad english. :-]
