Hey,

We are running nmap on Debian. I downloaded the latest version of nmap and
found that the version of config.guess distributed with nmap doesn't detect
the OS automatically. It recommends downloading the latest version at:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD

I did this and it worked perfectly. Might be worth updating this script
within the nmap distribution.

Good idea. That file was last updated in August 2009. I updated it and
config.sub from the Git repository.
