   There are several differences between distributions that are handled by the    
   SETUP.sh, primarily in the area of how passwords are stored (/etc/passwd vs.    
   /etc/shadow, etc.)  There are also differences in the groups that exist    
   between the various distributions.

   For the most part, the SETUP.sh handles finding what it needs itself.  There    
   are a few things that are checked that are distribution specific.
