 hobbitclient-linux.sh uses "uname -a" to report information about the
OS, which gives something like this :

Linux hades 2.6.14.2 #2 Wed Nov 16 10:14:26 CET 2005 i686 Pentium III
(Katmai) GNU/Linux

IMHO it would be great to display less information about the running
kernel and add information about the Linux distribution, something like
that :

Linux 2.6.14.2 i686 - Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14
Linux 2.6.9-34.EL i686 - CentOS release 4.3 (Final)
     
 
I've taken your patch and modified it somewhat, so that the distribution
specific information is reported in a separate [osversion] section of
the client data. Then I made the "info" column webpage use this, so in
the "OS: " display you'll now see

OS: Ubuntu 6.06
        Linux osiris.hswn.dk 2.6.15-23-k7 i686

Another very nice addition that will come in handy, but as an extension
could the 'flavour' be added in there also ? Eg I know you can do cat
/etc/redhat-release on redhat but no idea what the equivalent command is on
other nix*
