Re: Tell Ubuntu and Debian apart in a shell script ...
Hi again,
> Can you look in /etc/issue (or maybe /etc/debian_version)?
As a matter of fact that was my first naive method. It does work for Debian (unless changed by someone), but on Ubuntu this always contains the same string as far as I saw "squeeze/sid".
However, it could be that I'm on to something with:
(which lsb_release > /dev/null && `which lsb_release` --id)|awk '{print $3}'
... does not work on older systems which don't have lsb_release, though.
Still looking,
// Oliver
