Description-en: module for detecting the running Linux distribution
Linux::Distribution is a simple module that tries to guess on what Linux
distribution it is running by looking for release's files in /etc. It now
looks for 'lsb-release' first as that should be the most correct and adds
ubuntu support. Secondly, it will look for the distro specific files.
