Question Which Distro?


Despite the possibly misleading topic title, my question is not about which distro to be using. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a file I need. I seem to be lacking the which-distro program, so when ximian desktop tried to query it it got back no return therefore not allowing me to use its software. If anyone can get me this file I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance,
Gilkyboy

it's not an rpm, it should be in the ximian source tree already, /var/cache/ximian or whatever.

but i'd say not to use ximian. bloatware really.
