redhat-lsb-core needed?

The OS is reported on Centos 7 as just 'Linux' if you do not have the redhat-lsb-core package installed.  However this pulls in many otherwise unnecessary dependencies like x libs and fonts.   Is there a better way to just get the correct OS name?

Yes, you have to install this package to have a proper identification of your OS. You can write your own plugins, but thats way more complicate.

Centos 7 is normally managed by the ocs 2.1 agent without lsb_release.
But there is a bug:
in the following file /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend/OS/Linux/Distro/NonLSB/CentOS.pm,  /etc/redhat_release is discarded if it is a link. But it should not since in Centos this file is a link.
To solve this problem it is necessary to remove the lines 7 and 8 of CentOS.pm file.
