It is good to see bbgen can count the total hosts being monitored like 
following
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=bbgen

Is it possible also list out what kind of OS and versions to make up the 
total hosts ?

A very quick summary can be made with

    bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=cpu fields=BBH_OS"|sort |uniq -c

That gives you a summary of what OS your hobbit client enabled systems
are running. For a more detailed breakdown of the versions you'd have to
request each of the client logs with

   bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog client1.hswn.dk section=osversion"

and then do some summation over that data.
