Linux is a bit different than the other distributions. The 
"release" returned from uname -r gives the kernel version
number which is not specific enough to determine which 
resource file to use. Linux distribution specific
resource files are put under vendor directories and
during the configuration step a link is put in this
directory pointing the "release" to the vendor
specific distribution, i.e.

On a RedHat 6.1 distribution a link would be
put in as follows:

	2.2.12-20  --> RedHat/6.1

	
See /etc/issue
    /etc/redhat-release

This is not perfect either as resources should really
be calculated from various system variables. It's
just a lot easier to config a resource file based
on a distributions default /etc/passwd /etc/group ...
Some of the color assignments are subjective and
can't really be calculated, one has to see what
looks good and what does not color clash ...
Well I suppose it could be done but that's for
another release :)
