You've touched on the major ones. I deal with a mix of
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS boxen at $work, and usually a combination of:
cat /etc/issue
cat /etc/issue.net
lsb_release -a #usually not installed
cat /etc/*-release
uname -a
yum;apt-get #whichever one doesn't exist is usually a pretty big tipoff
between RPM vs DEB
does the trick. never even thought to grep /etc/apt/sources.list, but i
may just start doing so.
