Thanks to my journal entry on linuxfr I have enhanced osinfo. Here are the changes in osinfo 1.4:

  • added support for Arch Linux and Slackware
  • fixed -k option
  • added a -v option to display version
  • added support for Gentoo
  • moved the test of redhat at the end because it seems to be present on an Ubuntu...
