Is there a way to get Network Scanner to show Linux OS version?

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.
