question on ifThenElse

Hello,

I'd like to give values to one (better: several) attributes based on the 
value of one attribute. My first thought was to do this with ifThenElse, 
i.e. something like:

kernelSelector extends ifThenElse {
  kernel;
  linuxFlavor;

  if (linuxFlavor == "debian");
  then kernel "xyz";
  if (linuxFlavor == "redhat);
  then kernel "abc";
}

oneOS extends kernelSelector {
linuxFlavor "debian";
}

This does not work because - I think - ifThenElse can only assign to the 
attribute in the "if (...)" clause ? Furthermore I'd like to define the 
values of more than one attribute based on the value of one 
(linuxFlavor). I there some other way to do this in the SF language ?

Thanks,
Andreas
