The bit after the hostname is used to define the OS type.  This is
obtained, at the client, from the lower-cased output of "uname -s", but can
be overridden by defining in xymonclient.cfg by setting SERVEROSTYPE.  See
the man page for xymonclient.cfg for info.  If you add
"SERVEROSTYPE=debian" into xymonclient.cfg (and restart xymon), then you
should get your client data showing this:

client xxxx.xxxxx.org.debian linux

I haven't tried this, but it might do what you want.

I have a global [linux] section, and per-host definitions where they
deviate.  It's a bit of a hassle replicating the same definitions for a
bunch of identical hosts, but I only have to set it up once per host.
