command to find the flavour of linux 7198

buttuming you mean that you need to write files depending on the distribution of Linux you are running, someone has already provided a link to a list of files you can examine from which you can infer what distribution you have. Note that some distributions may be a bit funny this way; e.g., CentOS 4.2. Consider this file:

$ catetc-redhat-release CentOS release 4.2 (Final)

But if your distribution is complying with the File System Hierarchy Standard

So if your systems comply with the standard, and where you have made the arbitrary decisions (where the standard is ambiguous) the same, it is probably OK to put the files you are talking about all in the same place. Not for sure, but you can make educated guesses based onetc-*-release.

Peter may not even need medication. AFAIK, Peter has not moved to the United Kingdom, in the rest of Europe perhaps 500ml or 1500ml would be better. And depending on what his favorite flavor might be, a pint may be way too much; e.g. Cognac. ;-)
