So you know it is either mandrake or redhat. What does rpm tell you about the origins of those two files (i.e. package membership), BTW?
OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here and try some dubios deductive reasoning.
If we have both a mandrake-release and a redhat-release, I'm divining that it's a Mandrake box.
Mandrake uses RPM, Redhat uses RPM. Mandrake started as an offshoot of RedHat. RedHat was not based on Mandrake. So, in my mind, it stands to reason that Mandrake would be using some RedHat stuff, but that RedHat would not be using Mandrake stuff.
Of course, watching the box boot is probably more usefull. But why reboot when you don't have to? :)
