Hee hee, mine has always reported: HTTP_USER_AGENT=3DOpera/6.03 (FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE i386; U) [en] , due to being able to change it in the SQUID cache I use locally! (though that doesn't work for javascript, or https connections) Though I've just read Matthew Fullers solution to the same problem, which= =20 looks much better... sigh.. I'll be trying that one shortly ! > Probably because they got all these emails asking for a native FreeBSD > version :) (yes, I'm guilty). A good sort of guilt, though! [ In another message : ] =20 > OK, I just asked - There will be a seperate license for the FreeBSD ver= sion. >The current internal builds already use this seperate license. The final= =20 Thats bad news. Assuming that they won't allow "swaps", alot of people wi= ll stay with Linux if they've paid for the license, which will skew their us= age=20 figures to FreeBSD's disadvantage. Any chance you can persuade them to offer a swap - at least initially - s= eeing=20 as we were unable to get a FreeBSD license, but still paid for the "secon= d=20 best option", and also, if they allow a swap, it will make their FreeBSD=20 usage figures more accurate. Ummm, is it true the linux plugins won't work with the FreeBSD native ver= sion=20 - even with the linuxator installed ?
