There's not really a generic way but there aren't _that_ many (major) Linux distributions. Redhat and (IIRC) CentOS have /etc/redhat-release; for example: > Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2) SuSe has /etc/SuSe-release; for example: > SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) > VERSION = 9 A Debian system nearby has its version info in /etc/lsb-release . I'm not sure about the others but there's probably a limited set of files we could check and we'd cover a lot of systems. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
