Description

Using /etc/lsb-release to get information about the distro is not recommended since it's not portable.

Example: cat /etc/lsb-release (Debian/Ubuntu)

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
 DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
 DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
 DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)"

Example from SUSE:

LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64"

The only portable way to get this info is to use 'lsb_release -a'
