Show user agent in posts - not working?


OOPs: sorry about this. I just discovered that it is tucked away in the left bottom corner of the post bit.

On another note: does it detect the distribution also, if possible?

If it's in the browsers User-Agent string in a decipherable way and matches whatever platform or distro regexes are available then it should be picked up.

One of the issues is that the browser often doesn't supply the distribution information and so it shows up generically as Linux. I am trying this to see if adding "Debian" to the user agent has any effect.
