Thanks for these suggestions!  This was the type of approach I was hoping
was possible, but one whose syntax I was not sure how to approach.  I like
your suggestion of checking /etc/redhat-release and will use that method.
It should work excellently.

Thanks much for the suggestion(s) all that offered them!
