I also glance at Phoronix from work from a Windows PC. However, I do have a Fedora VM for "cross platform compatibility testing."

some of us even use our firewall to rewrite the User-Agent: http header to SAY
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20
EVEN when we are using Firefox on opensolaris - because too many webservers are pissy and want to forcefeed you $^@& Flash banner ads rather than show you what you came to see.

I do this because, only just recently has the X-Fi drivers been introduced into the kernel. It also doesn't help that the ath9k driver for my wifi card, which is absolutely needed for any internet access, hardly works.
I've noticed both of those things have been fixed and/or improved with Ubuntu's Alpha 5.
I look to move back to Ubuntu after 9.10 is released.

a real pain when I go to one of these 'smart' sites where they use the user-agent field to determine what kind of software to download;
First see what you're handing out as your ID card:
Need to know your IP address? We'll show you your IP and location + explain how you can put your IP address to work in Google Analytics.
Second if you are using firefox, here's a cool add-on to modify User-Agent. NOTE that NOT ALL websites use "User-Agent" to determine platform and browser.
User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
But it absolutely fools http://get.adobe.com/reader/ into handing me what I want for download.
