This is a simple module that tries to guess on
what linux distribution we are running by looking
for release's files in /etc. It now looks for
'lsb-release' first as that should be the most
correct and adds ubuntu support.
.
Secondly, it will look for the distro specific files.
.
It currently recognizes slackware, debian,
suse, fedora, redhat, turbolinux, yellowdog,
knoppix, mandrake, conectiva, immunix,
tinysofa, va-linux, trustix, adamantix, yoper,
arch-linux, libranet, gentoo, ubuntu and redflag.
.
It has function to get the version for debian,
suse, redhat, gentoo, slackware, redflag
and ubuntu(lsb). People running unsupported
distro's are greatly encouraged to submit patches.
