I need some info from certain distros for an application I'm writing.

I need to know whats all in the file that tells the distro and release info. It is usually located under /etc and is named something like <distro>-release or <distro>-version (<distro> being the name of the distro your using).

So if you could please tell me the name of the file and its contents (a simple cat /etc/distro-xxxx would do).

I already have the info for the following distros:
slackware
arch linux
zenwalk
fedora
ubuntu
sabayon
turbolinux

Thank you for any help!

Gentoo 2007.0
/etc/gentoo-release:
Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9

Both CentOS and Fedora use /etc/redhat-release.

On my CentOS 4.5 server it says: "CentOS release 4.5 (Final)"

Thanks guys.
I came up with an easy way to find the name of the file for most distros:
ls /etc | grep "version\|release"
