Hi again,
Can you look in /etc/issue (or maybe /etc/debian_version)?
As a matter of fact that was my first naive method. It does work for Debian (unless
changed by someone), but on Ubuntu this always contains the same string as far as I saw
"squeeze/sid".
However, it could be that I'm on to something with:
(which lsb_release> /dev/null&& `which lsb_release` --id)|awk '{print $3}'
... does not work on older systems which don't have lsb_release, though.
Still looking,

Maybe use lsb_release, and grep /etc/apt/sources.list as a fallback method?
