In this fix I removed the use of the file name in order to return the distname. Now, only the file contents is taken into account.

In this fix I removed the use of the file name in order to return the
distname. Now, only the file contents
is taken into account.

On Centos, the file name is the same as on Redhat, but its contents is
different:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 5 (Final)
