Hi Chris,

I would prefer the string to be in the format:

Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle) Kernel: 5.xxx (whatever it might be)

This is close to what is returned for the Mac and Windows versions.

To me that's a very reasonable format of choice.

Though, maybe we could add the word "Linux" somewhere just in case someone may use this to try to detect Linux platform independent of distros?

Just find some reasonable set of uname flags. uname by itself is pretty worthless (my system just returns "Linux"). -osrv seems a reasonable set...
