I think we should include the operating system version as well as
the operating system and hardware platform.

Given the way linux is distributed, I'm used to including:

  os+os version         => Debian 5.0
        kernel+kernel version => Linux 2.6

to distinguish Debian 5 from Linux 2.6.

If I get to dream a bit, I'd love to include the compiler and it's
version as well.  I'll take the opportunity to attach one of my
favorite C programs: it outputs the name and version of the compiler
it was compiled with.
