[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-7142) usage reporting should report linux versions

[Andre Dietisheim (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7142?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12553881#action_12553881 ] 

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-7142:
-----------------------------------------

looks like the Firefox Browser may indicate the linux distribution and version:

ex. for fedora:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080612 Fedora/2.0.0.14-20080612.fc8.acer Firefox/2.0.0.14

Unfortunately I can't see any reliable strategy to get the linux distro by java system properties.
The most appropriate strategy to detect the distro is AFAIK the /etc/XX-release file:
