I personally wouldn't bet my farm on its contents either.
Just to be a knob, I've installed an /etc/redhat-release on
my debian boxes. And I've aliased linuxconf to ed (that
should keep 'em busy for a while :).
starfire:~$ linuxconf
?
quit
?
exit
?
logout
?
help
?
starfire:~$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
starfire:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
testing/unstable
debian_version could be a little more helpful. So I edited it
to so say windows NT 4.0 (build 3812).
