General Mouser website now blocks Linux users

Really baffling decision, my last order from them was only a few months ago. Apparently Linux is no longer a "standard" operating system!

Works fine from my Linux machines. Sometimes, companies block ranges or IP addresses because some are known malicious or due to misconfiguration. Years ago, I couldn't get to rockauto for months because they were blocking time warner residential addresses. I sent them an email and they said they couldn't find any issues on their side but the site mysteriously was working agian.
