Comment 11 for bug 381650

Now that we have reached the LTS, a simple javascript can be made to capture the User agent [1] from a browser, for example considering new users use firefox as their browser, this is the packet of information is send out (this one is my details) :

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5

And the last part of this string tells us what release it is. I can make a script that captures this information and only returns the release karmic, then you guys can decide on how to use this on help.ubuntu.com. I propose something like this as one of the first lines: You are using Ubuntu 9.10- the Karmic Koala
