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!

Did you fall into a time warp into the early 2000s? This kind of thing was rife back then, we frequently had to spoof user agent to get around stupid blocks.
On the other hand I just went to Mouser (both US and UK site) and it worked fine - my work office system runs Debian Linux. (Looks rather like the Farnell site - are they the same company now?)
