Description

The patch in #3834 is incorrect and lead to the detection of real Red Hat as scientific linux when the package " redhat-lsb-core " is not installed.

The problem is that Fusion based its choice on file names (/etc/centos-release, /etc/mandrake-release, etc) but Red Hat and Scientific have no different files, only different files content.

Idea: in the case of RedHat, check if we don't have a Scientific for real with the /etc/redhat-release content.
