I also don't think it is worth it. After all, redhat-release should
only contain 1 line on it, since a single distribution can't be
2 things at once.

In any case, the expression you are looking for is:

sed -n '0,/CentOS/s/ release.*$//p'

Or, alternatively:

sed -n 's/^\(.*CentOS.*\) release.*$/\1/p;q'

Even tho I don't think that is a good idea. If we are going to lock
it to CentOS, might just as well hardcode it on the script.
