Well, the easy way would be to use an analytics software on your website, such as Piwik, which would record all of your visitors.
Then you can view just the Ubuntu segment, from Visitors > Software > http://i.imgur.com/D22YrGS.png
Of course, you can also go the programming way, and code it yourself, you can fetch the user's IP via PHP, and OS/User Agent via javascript, then save that info in your database and query just the visitors with Ubuntu OS.

Your website has an access_log file. In that log file you can see the latest IP addresses visiting your site including what they are viewing. You will also see the user agent that the user is surfing with.

Another option is to put some script like live chat with visitor detection. Livezilla has one.

You can check your access_log file in case you are running Apache. Since this is Ubuntu, the log file should be found at /var/log/apache2/access.log
To get the last line, you can run the following command: tail -n 1 /var/log/apache2/access.log
The line should contain the IP address, date, request URL, return code and the user agent.
