Re: [CentOS] Cents OS from Bash Shell
re point 3, do you have 'telnetd' installed. You should probably use ssh unless you have a good reason not to.

On my 64-bit CentOS 6.3, 'lsb_release -a' returns: 'bash: lsb_release: command not found' Works on Debian 6.0.5 & Ubuntu 12.04.2 & 12.10. The CentOS distro is a cloud server image if that makes any difference although I wouldn't have thought so.

Parsing release info from centos-release is the most accurate way to determine what the currently running release is.
