Hi,
On SL5.7 the command 'lsb_release -a' gives 'Distributor ID:' as
'ScientificSL'. On SL6.1 this value is 'Scientific', which is closer to
how TUV and other distros behave. I'm trying out some software (opscode
ohai) on SL5.7 that is referencing this to determine the distribution
type, but the software knows about 'Scientific' and not 'ScientificSL'.
Any consideration of changing the /etc/redhat-release contents in SL5.X?
I figuring to work around this by striking 'SL' from
/etc/redhat-release. 'lsb_release -a' then gives the result I'm looking
for.
Thanks,
Tom Rockwell
