If you use the Linux version of Netscape, you can change the string to read what you want using sysctl values (sysctl -a | grep linux) allowing you to use versions like: "Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 3.1.33.7 i386)" or "Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE i386)" beware: other Linux programs (like vmware) depend on this version information and may not run with odd values. --=20 Chris D.
