I know Centos is a 100% rebuilt of whatever Red Hat has produced, even though the version numbers are no longer visually identical and, as Johnny always writes, "If it ain't in the Red Hat version, it ain't in Centos" or words having the same meaning.
Having got circa 20,000 hits, from all round the world, to a single dull web page in 2 days, I thought I would analyse the visitors' operating system preferences.
I can isolate from the browsers string:-
Android Darwin iPad iPhone Macintosh Windows X11
My C5 Firefox string is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0".
Ubunto has "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0"
My questions are:-
(1) Why can't we have 'Centos' in the Firefox browser string ?
(2) Is 'X11' genuinely indicative of all 'real' Linux - both free and commercial ? Android also calls itself Linux.
Thank you.

until the devs get "r2i", you can use a firefox add-on;
User-Agent Switcher 0.7.3.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ or User Agent Quick Switch 0.5.2.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-quick-switch/ or User Agent Overrider 0.4.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-overrider/
to create your own user agent id.
hth.

Thank you. As competitor Ubuntu has it, I thought why not Centos.

What purpose does it serve? I don't object to it being there but I also don't see a benefit to it being there.
Ubuntu btw is not exactly a distribution I want RHEL/EPEL/CentOS developers to emulate...

i agree. yet as said, until devs get "r2i". besides, it is ubuntu competing against centos. not centos competing against ubuntu, which in itself should tell you something. :-D
right now, they are busy keeping centos 7 ahead of ubuntu. ;-)
