inxi is not included in Debian or Ubuntu. lsb_release -a works
But the browser is not allowed to run terminal commands for obvious reasons ;)

We would have to create a table with such correspondence. But the problem 
remains: there is no way to get information on the Distro (except for Ubuntu's 
Firefox)

The only solution seems to be Andrea's suggestion about adding information when 
Linux is detected (this already happens when Android is detected so the 
mechanism is already there)

Pedro
