Add Distro

Use the Add Distro API to add distro information on the server. This is the information about the distribution flavor of the OS that will be used for the creation of Virtual Private Servers. By default Virtualizor provides information about eight types of distributions viz. CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Scientific, Windows and Webuzo. In addition to that you can add information about any new distros using this API. The API response will contain "done" as "1" on successful addition of the distribution information.
