[rhn-users] which OS level

[Doerbeck, Christoph]

Let me throw this in.... just in case a vender is reading this
thread to determine how their installer can best discover what
linux flavor a host is....

/etc/issue IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK!!!

/etc/motd IS ALSO BAD!!!

Thank you for your time.  

I have had several 3rd party apps fail to install simply because
their only point of discovery is /etc/issue.  This file is by 
definition customizable by the admins.  Stick to /etc/redhat-release
or what ever the distro's custom mechanism is.
