Hi For one of my projects I need to get the contents of /etc/redhat-release during the configure process and assign the contents to a variable. I'm currently using the following: redhat_release=`cat /etc/redhat-release 2> /dev/null` This works fine, but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions?
