Hi all!
I think it was on this list, in the last week or so I saw some comment about how some apps may grope the contents of /etc/redhat-release when installing themselves, so as to figure how which OS they're running on, and there was some mention of this not being the best of all possible ideas.
What I'm not sure of is what would be a better way for an app installer to find out which OS version it's being installed on. Can someone offer me some enlightenment
Thanks!
