You can use javascript code for detecting the OS on the client machine:

JavaScript

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
 var OSName="Unknown OS";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) OSName="Windows";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) OSName="MacOS";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11")!=-1) OSName="UNIX";
 if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) OSName="Linux";
 document.write('Your OS: '+OSName);
 </script>

Good luck.
