I'm voting from work, where I don't have any choice on what OS I use, and I don't think I'm the only one.

Not to mention that it would be extremely taxing on the server to poll that every time a page is loaded, creating a constant job for PHP/MySQL that isn't needed.

Don't forget, this is just a couple of modules for Drupal here. Great modules, but the core of this site is just Drupal.

I have several machines here at home. Two laptops, one running XP (for work), the other Ubuntu. A desktop runs Ubuntu, another server runs Mandriva. What significance the OS used to access this webpage would have is somewhat beyond me and I feel really shouldn't matter.

It is supposed to be suggestions to improve Ubuntu, not this website.

I say Yes!

I can imagine that you want to know the number of (K/X/-)ubuntu viewers. Alas, Xubuntu anounces itself as Ubuntu...

Gold plating. Also argumentum ad hominem.

I am sure many of the crappy ideas are from Windows users...
