[CentOS] Re: centos] Hewlett Packard Server support packs

[John Newbigin]

I am pretty sure that they are shell scripts and they are looking for 
strings in /etc/redhat-release

Can someone with RHEL post a real /etc/redhat-release for us too look at.

IMHO, CentOS should provide a RedHat looking redhat-release and a centos 
specific centos-release.
