SYNOPSIS

           use Sys::Info::Driver::Linux::OS::Distribution;
           my $distro = Sys::Info::Driver::Linux::OS::Distribution->new;
           my $name   = $distro->name;
           if( $name ) {
               my $version = $distro->version;
               print "you are running $distro, version $version\n";
           }
           else {
               print "distribution unknown\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple module that tries to guess on what linux distribution we are running by
       looking for release's files in /etc.  It now looks for 'lsb-release' first as that should
       be the most correct and adds ubuntu support.  Secondly, it will look for the distro
       specific files.

       It currently recognizes slackware, debian, suse, fedora, redhat, turbolinux, yellowdog,
       knoppix, mandrake, conectiva, immunix, tinysofa, va-linux, trustix, adamantix, yoper,
       arch-linux, libranet, gentoo, ubuntu and redflag.

       It has function to get the version for debian, suse, redhat, gentoo, slackware, redflag
       and ubuntu(lsb). People running unsupported distro's are greatly encouraged to submit
       patches.
