Help with my function

[juliusctw]

Hello

I am currently writing a function that returns the
0. linux version
1. linux distribution name , and version name (ubuntu, debian, etc)
2. desktop environment (gnome, kde, etc)

But in order for me to do that, i need the environment variables from different machines and different distributions as samples. It would really help me if you linux guys out there can give me your environment , and issue, and paste them here, you would type:

env
cat /etc/issue

Oh please tell me what you actually have too. Thank you for the help.

Hello Thanks for your post

Your env is actually missing desktop env, are you using gnome? kde? xcef? or is yours an example of not using a desktop manager?

Nope, no desktop manager. I'm just using a window manager, called 'awesome'. I also use 'dwm' and 'xmonad' sometimes.

Ubuntu 8.04.2 \n \l

Standard Ubuntu 8.04. (GNOME).

I guess checking for existence of environment vars is easier than looking for particular processes. Possibly better too, but it might break for future versions.
