So, after the fiasco with ecollege.com I decided to look up how to change my browsers user-agent (I use galeon). Here is how you do it (take from the Galeon Faq):

1. To get the current user agent type:

   gconftool -g /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent

2. To set a user agent type:

   gconftool -s /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent –type=string “XXX”

For example, to make the system think that you’re running IE 6.0 on WinXP do this:

gconftool -s /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent --type=string "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"

1. Finally, to restore the default type:

   gconftool -s /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent –type=string default
