Yes but there is a tiny problem as I was told by shorewall upstream Debian 7 and Fedora 19 are also using /etc/os-release
That's the whole point - to get every distro using the same file. http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html Also http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release.html which is currently down so get it from google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:5zVoyddm4dAJ:0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
So how do we distinguish that this is openSUSE
