Interestingly, the first hit for me when googling tcl lsb_release is a post from this mailing list from 2006 :) https://sourceforge.net/p/modules/mailman/message/2788950/ The nice thing about this approach is that lsb_release output should be consistent across all Linux distributions, with the caveat that you'll need to have lsb_release available on all of your systems. I've simply been parsing the output of [uname release], which is the same as uname -r, however it gets increasingly complicated, especially across major distros.
