Distrowatch doesn't use client user agent strings. Distrowatch makes no effort as far as I am aware to tell what you are currently running as you view the site. It's strictly about which pages on their site are viewed by the most ip addresses every day.

You should read up on how they get their stats.

While Distrostat is useful by itself, who really go see every day the page of his distro on the site ? Everyday or even once in a while.

There is usually project blogs that carry much more informations, and others specific source of news ( at least in the case of ubuntu and others ).
