h.u.c should check HTTP USER-AGENT

[Duncan Lithgow]

The 'is there enough help in the right places' debate is again in good
health on ubuntu-users. One good point is that the links to various
variants of Ubuntu on https://help.ubuntu.com/ is sure to be confusing
for some users, I've already mentioned that a link from the front page
text to HTML is not very useful for people who don't know what HTML is.

The next thing that occurs to me is that we should be able to use the
HTTP USER-AGENT string. I went to check mine at 
http://web-sniffer.net/ where it says mine was as follows:


Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060727
Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.5 Web-Sniffer/1.0.24

This means that at the very least we can check if a visitor to the help
pages is using Ubuntu, and which version.

Could someone who runs another flavour (Xubuntu / Kubuntu ...) check to
see if they show up flavour specific?
