        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*

Ahh forgot all about that thing!! Shows how long I've been avoiding bb 
stuff and trying to rely solely on hobbit :)
