Have you tried setting the virtual NIC to an Intel card? That got it working for me.

Yeah, I'm using that one. I enter a URL in WebPositive (tried a few), the progress bar moves along a bit, stops, then a message-box pops up: "Failed to resolve whatever".
I'll try again.

Whooaa! Where has my slackware sign gone?

I think the mean Gnome has hidden it. It should be back now.

Nasssssssssty gnomeses stealssssssss your precioussssssssss Sssslackwareses logo...

On second thought, the truth turns out to be more prosaic than that. Yesterday I reinstalled FF and forgot about the logo.

I still think though that the nasty gnomes should be blamed for that!!!!!

Posting from Konqueror in "Chakra", an Arch-based KDE distro...

Useragent icon? Nope.

I was hoping to post this from ARMedslack running in QEMU, but I haven't got it all sorted out yet. In the meantime, here's a screenshot. Look at the date in XFCE's panel: January 1st, 1970.

Posting from colinux in Windows XP, yep, reports as Ubuntu...

First post from chromium in Peppermint Ice. Nice so far...

Posting from Mint again...this time natively (that's right, bare metal, no VirtualBox involved ) from the Isadora (Mint 9) x86_64 LiveCD.

Checking to see if there is a peppermint icon...

Ah, shows up as Mint. That works.

gessing this will show up as ubuntu...

{hmmm no just a generic tux... wierd as it is certianly ubuntu running here suppose its chromium's fault}

it is certianly ubuntu running here suppose its chromium's fault

Yeah, Chromium has a way of setting the user agent string via the command line, but it's a bit lengthy, and I don't remember how to do it (I don't use Chromium)...
