Hi Rob,

I hope you don't mind me contacting you directly but I found your info here: 
https://en.opensuse.org/User:Rjschwei. I participate on one of the StackExchange 
sites, Unix & Linux and a question recently came up regarding the best option 
for determining the underlying OS.

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/92199/how-can-i-reliably-get-the-operating-systems-name/92218?noredirect=1#comment140840_92218

In my answer I suggested using lsb_release, but one of the other users mentioned 
that this command wasn't installed as part of SLES11 which kind of surprised me. 
Anyway we were looking for some way to confirm whether this was intentionally 
dropped from SLES or it was accidental.

Would you know how we could go about confirming this one way or another?

Thanks for reading this, appreciate any help and/or guidance on this.

lsb_release was not dropped in SLES 11. SLES 11 is LSB certified. However, it 
is not installed by default, which is consistent with pretty much every other
distribution. The lsb_release command is part of the lsb-release package.

At present almost every distribution has an entry in /etc such as 
/etc/SuSE-release for SLES and openSUSE. Since this is difficult for ISVs and 
others there is a standardization effort going on driven by the convergence to 
systemd. The standard location for distribution information in the future will 
be /etc/os-release, although Ubuntu will probably do something different.

HTH,    
Robert
