Re: VDQ : Which Debian? (fwd)



This works in many distros, but not all ...

(shopt -s nullglob; cat /etc/{debian_version
,redhat-release}*)

Very interesting; It's fine in Fedora (so
presumably also in CentOS, which I don't
have booted right now)and in Debian; in Ubuntu
it says "lenny/sid," which I guess is an answer.

In Puppy 3.01ee, it seems to do nothing ...

Many thanks! I'll have to study that.
