Test for the existence of the following files:

    /etc/redhat-release
    /etc/SuSE-release
    /etc/gentoo-release
    /etc/debian_version
        - in this case, check for ubuntu by reading /etc/lsb-release,
          which will contain something like:
            DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
            DISTRIB_RELEASE=5.10
            DISTRIB_CODENAME=breezy
            DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)"
