Description

Should be able to:
- determine the distro version
- distinguish the distros from https://hub.docker.com/search?source=verified&type=image&category=os (note: many already have their own tickets, the extras are listed here):
- ros
- cirros
- photon
- clearlinux
- mageia
- sourcemage
- clefos
- deepinOS

This is a placeholder issue, it would be a good idea to break of individual items into separate issues as they are picked up.

Research direction

Start by splitting this placeholder into separate issues for the listed distributions: ros, cirros, photon, clearlinux, mageia, sourcemage, clefos, and deepinOS. Define completion for each item as identifying its distribution and version; the issue does not name files, tests, or entry points to begin with.
