Hi Nathan (hope I've got the right address for you);
 
In commit a52a00a7 the way that 'kernel.uname.distro' is 
determined on Linux changed, so that instead of returning 
something like:
 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
 
it now shows (if lsb is installed):
 
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"
 
Is that change intentional? (I just got a bug report about 
this.)
 
Thanks for any info.
