To find Linux Mint, you have to look in /etc/lsb-release: 

/etc/lsb-release:DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint 
/etc/lsb-release:DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela"

There is another option: cat /etc/issue.net 

Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela 
Debian 7 Wheezy: Debian GNU/Linux 7

But it fails on CentOS 7: 

\S 
Kernel \r on an \m

So there seems to be not only one method but a combination of many to identify Linux systems.
