=head1 NAME

Linux::Distribution - Perl extension to detect on which Linux distribution we are running.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Linux::Distribution qw(distribution_name distribution_version);

  if(my $distro = distribution_name) {
        my $version = distribution_version();
  	print "you are running $distro, version $version\n";
  } else {
  	print "distribution unknown\n";
  }

  Or else do it OO:

  use Linux::Distribution qw(distribution_name distribution_version);

  my $linux = Linux::Distribution->new;
  if(my $distro = $linux->distribution_name()) {
        my $version = $linux->distribution_version();
        print "you are running $distro, version $version\n";
  } else {
        print "distribution unknown\n";
  }

=head1 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, scientific, oracle enterprise linux and redflag.

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

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.

=head1 TODO

Add the capability of recognize the version of the distribution for all recognized distributions.
