Automatic install is good, but I think that providing a command line to the user
is better, as he may want to install things on a different way. For example, on
Mandriva, there are 2 or 3 different options to install package. I think that 
Debian/Ubuntu also provides at least 3 different ways (apt-get, aptitude, yum).

OK. I just added a logic that works with RHEL/Fedora. There's no
/etc/lsb-release on RHEL 6.1 or Fedora 15, but it shouldn't be hard
to do support the Ubuntu way with:

 my $system_release = qx(cat /etc/system-release);
 $system_release = qx(cat /etc/redhat-release) if !$system_release;
+$system_release = qx(grep DISTRIB_ID /etc/lsb-release) if !$system_release;

Cheers,
Mauro
