I haven't come across that since Win98 era.  I wonder, though, if
they're really rejecting you because you're running Linux.

When you (try to) browse a site, there's a scad of information your
browser provides about yourself to the server (browser name, support
MIME types, operating system, window size, etc).  Originally designed
so that servers can accommodate the peculiarities of some browsers, or
special needs of the disabled, by serving slightly different data.  But
often used to tell people to use a different browser, because the
webmaster was a lazy opinionated bastard who only wanted to cater to
MSIE (properly pronounced as "misery").
