The closest thing I know of is "rpm -qa \*-release", but I don't know if
that works for anything not redhat-related.
$ rpm -qa \*-release
fedora-release-2-4
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
$ ls -l /etc/redhat-release
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 29 18:49 /etc/redhat-release -> fedora-release
$ cat /etc/issue
Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
Kernel \r on an \m
Perhaps /etc/issue is more generic? getty outputs this file with
uname -x replacing \x.
