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, redflag and xandros. 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 :-) =head2 EXPORT None by default. =head1 TODO Add the capability of recognize the version of the distribution for all recognized distributions. =head1 AUTHORS Alberto Re, Ealberto@accidia.netE Judith Lebzelter, Ejudith@osdl.orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.8.5 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available. =cut
