I don't know much about it either, just stumbled upon it by reading the man page of "/etc/os-release". Looking at the database (see [1]), I realized that the "big" distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE are in the database, so my line of argumentation was something like "Why not?" ;). Basically it makes it look more professional as it could be used as a reference for entries within CVE and things like that. But I have to admit that this was just something I wanted to mention. I by no means insist on that. Best regards, Karol Babioch [1] http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/cpe/search
