Subject: Will not always report correct distribution on a fedora core installation
As hash order is random...and on a fedora core system there exists both /etc/fedora-release (a real file) and /etc/redhat-release (a symbolic link to /etc/fedora-release) , Linux::Distribution may sometimes report the incorrect distribution. Could fix by using a tie'd IxHash or many other options like maybe even ignoring symlinks.
