One of the things I have to do when I roll-out HP kits on Proliants is to 
rename/modify the content of /etc/redhat-release so the kits can determine 
what they're running on and install, then modify it back to original.

It would be good if this came as it's own little rpm to install then de-
install as an admin sees fit.

As you can imagine, HP, IBM, etc all officially "support" RHEL, SUSE, Debian 
so they have their kits only look for those particular releases.

Regards,

Michael.
