My LQ
Your Control Panel
Settings and Options
Edit Options
Show User Agent in Posts
Check "Show the Operating System from your browser User Agent in posts?"
And you need to be using Arch Linux on the system which you're responding to posts for.
Not sure if you need to disable invisible mode too, that might be a factor.

Go here:
http://www.whatismyip.com/user-agent-info/
to get your user agent string.
then, if you're using Firefox, open ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js, and put this in;
Code:
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "your-user-agent-string/Arch");
And you've been around long enough to know not to use "help" as a title.

Actually ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/user.js should be the file to add the string to (may have to create the file), as Firefox will overwrite things in the prefs.js next time it starts.
Code:
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Debian Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0");

It hasn't been overwritten so far (touch wood, fingers crossed).
