If you have an account on the Linux systems being scanned, you can use the Remote SSH feature. The Network Scanner will connect to each system, authenticate and capture a command's output.

For example, uname -a will return OS version as shown in the attached screen shot. It's possible to use any Linux command line tools to extract more information.
