I'm not a fan of this linux approach.  One of my pet peeves is
using "Linux" to represent one distro type, but not another.
Red Hat is just as deserving of the moniker "L" as debian is (or
any other distro, for that matter).  What happens when we build
for Raspberry Pis?

Maybe do "D" for debian-family, and "R" for Red Hat-family.  It
would probably make more sense to use "C" for CentOS-family
though; the odds of someone actually running this on actual Red
Hat is about 0%

Another option would be to use "L" and bundle all the linux
versions together inside the archive; it's not like the size of
the archive matters.  Also, does it need to be a .zip?  A .tgz
would be more "linux-y."

Can you tell what my day job is? ;-)
