changing identification

[Master of Reality]

How would i go about trying to change what Linux identifies itself as?

What the hell you talking about m0r?  Do you mean change the info in /etc/issue and what the "uname" command returns?  Or are you talking about what Apache says it's running on?  There's about a million things that could mean.

I think i want to change what you will get if you do an NMAP OS scan on my computer. How do i change what apache says it runs on too?

1) hack TCP/IP in the kernel so it has the fingerprint of another OS.  Good luck. Yeah right.

2) hack the Apache source and recompile. Much easier task.

my hacking skills are mostly limited to what i can do with a hatchet. So maybe i will work on my weapon of mass destruction instead.

wow, your first c++ prog, and about microsofts kernel. you would have to probably re-write a little bit of linux while your at it. and for c++ prog, a bit ago, when i was in school, i was writing the very ass end of a massive roleplaying game, i gave up and lost the source owell, i wasn't any good anyway.
