[fpc-pascal] Detecting what is the linux distro

[ik]

Hello List,

I'm looking for a proper way to detect the type of Linux distro.

At first I thought about /etc/issue, but it seems that some are abusing this
file.
Many distro's uses /etc/XXXX__release, where XXXX is their name, but it's
not a proper way either to detect, because not everyone uses it.

Any additional ideas ?


Thanks,

Ido
