Hi Fred,
You should checkout how Virtualmin does system version detection.

Which does it the 100% wrong way.
Again, contents of /etc/*-release _can not be trusted_.
the proper way for this is: rpm -q --nosignature --qf "%{VERSION}" --whatprovides redhat-release 2>/dev/null this is working on all rhel/centos/sl etc and even on fedora.
