Secondly, it will look for the distro specific files. .PP It currently recognizes slackware, debian, suse, fedora, redhat, turbolinux, yellowdog, knoppix, mandrake, conectiva, immunix, tinysofa, va-linux, trustix, adamantix, yoper, arch-linux, libranet, gentoo, ubuntu and redflag. .PP It has function to get the version for debian, suse, redhat, gentoo, slackware, redflag and ubuntu(lsb). People running unsupported distro's are greatly encouraged to submit patches. .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .SS "build" .IX Subsection "build" .SS "build_date" .IX Subsection "build_date" .SS "edition" .IX Subsection "edition" .SS "kernel" .IX Subsection "kernel" .SS "manufacturer" .IX Subsection "manufacturer" .SS "name" .IX Subsection "name" .SS "new" .IX Subsection "new" .SS "raw_name" .IX Subsection "raw_name" .SS "version" .IX Subsection "version" .SH "TODO" .IX Header "TODO" Add the capability of recognize the version of the distribution for all recognized distributions. .SH "Linux::Distribution AUTHORS" .IX Header "Linux::Distribution AUTHORS" Some parts of this module were originally taken from \f(CW\*(C`Linux::Distribution\*(C'\fR and it's authors are: .PP .Vb 3 \& Alberto Re Ealberto@accidia.netE \& Judith Lebzelter Ejudith@osdl.orgE \& Alexandr Ciornii Ealexchorny@gmail.com .Ve .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Burak Gursoy .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" This software is copyright (c) 2006 by Burak Gursoy. .PP This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.
