MihaLast changelog:
4. February 2006 version 0.3 - kanotix-version added - add thanks-to list
6. January 2006 version 0.2 -etc/issue removed -Fixed errors -some changes in script
Should it realy be:
test -r "/etc/redhat-release" && DISTRO=`cat /etc/fedora-release`
Shouldn't it be:
test -r "/etc/fedora-release" && DISTRO=`cat /etc/fedora-release`
And
test -r "/etc/gentoo-relase" && DISTRO=`cat /etc/debian_version`
is wrong too.
It should be
test -r "/etc/gentoo-relase" && DISTRO=`cat /etc/gentoo-release`
And the file /etc/gentoo-release isn't of intrest. For gentoo check where the symlink /etc/make.profile points. Then get the profile from the path.
In my case it points to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1
That means I have a Gentoo Linux 2005.1 install.
/etc/gentoo-release contains
Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13
And that is not of intrest.
I posted a fixed version at http://pastebin.com/492620
I'm not sure if the filenames for other distros are right. But now it works on Gentoo.
I would be grateful if anyone could rewrite my Perl regular expression to an extended or basic regular expression. Perl regular expression support is not very common, I'm afraid.

Have you had a look at lsb-release? It does essentially the same and more... cheers
If you want Arch Linux distibution support, just add to your script: test -r "/etc/arch-release" && DISTRO=`cat /etc/arch-release`

A updated fix is at http://pastebin.com/493439 I would like the original author to comment upon this and also to fix the original script.
Thanks for bug reporting. I will correct
Is Guess distro posted at both KDE-Apps.org and KDE-Look.org? Your comment haven't appeared at KDE-Apps.org yet. Odd.
I made a even better version at http://pastebin.com/493690 If you use my contribs: please mention AnMaster in a "thanks to"-list or something.
