Re: [SLUG] Linux newbie questions

[Rod Butcher]

Thanks for this info... by spoofing as IE6 on WinXP I can now logon to 
the MacQuarie Uni eStudent website... it won't accept spoofing as NS6.. 
I smell a rat. Firefox now crashes when it downloads the Internet 
Banking applet when I spoof as NS 1 Win 98, but I think there is promise 
along this path. What is the 'political' state of play here in Oz re. 
getting corporations to recognise Linux (i.e. on their websites) ? Seems 
to me that because it's free, and hence there is no corporate lobby, 
compared to Win and Apple, there will be pressure to exclude it.. any 
evidence for this ?
thanks. Rod

Since Apple's Safari is based on (and contributed back to) KDE's 
Konqueror, 
Sorry, Fire fox and Just about all browsers work on OS 10.x .
For linux the only sure fire solution is User agent spoofing.
Best way that I have found is /prefbar/ find it at 
http://prefbar.mozdev.org/ .
Install and restart your browser. A preferences bar appears with some 
check boxes and a drop down menu.
Select "Moz 1.0 win98" then log into St George Bank.
Now just lay  back and think of the economy.
