It may be useful to know that the terminal command

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 ;)
I have not yet (not looked very hard) found any command that will
disclose if the distro needs RPM or DEB files
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)
just an additional info instead of a (mandatory) choise is indeed worth
to think twice. I'll do it on the weekend and play a bit with the
download scripting.
as the CMS current not working I cannot commit something to show you for
testing. Therefore a little dry test:
When choosing RPM or DEB a little text is show with the following content:
"RPM is used in:
CentOS, Fedora, Mageia, Mandriva, MeeGo, openSUSE, Oracle Linux,
PCLinuxOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sailfish OS, Scientific Linux, SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server
DEB is used in:
Debian, Kanotix, Knoppix, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu"
Please have a look if something is wrong or could be added.
Thanks
Marcus
