RE: RHEL5 BASE AND ADVANCED PLATFORM CHECK

["Steven Kalisky" <Steven_Kalisky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for informational purposes RHEL5 doesn't differentiate between es
and as as earlier versions.

Hi all,

In earlier version of RHEL one could simply dump out
/etc/redhat-release to determine if an install was WS, ES or AS. For
example:

    cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 4)

    cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

>From what I can find the distinction between AP and base Server has
been lost for release 5 with both showing:

    cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Regards,
Lingu
