I'm sorry if you're offended, Richard, but the question was about choosing toolkits (which BTW are dependencies of packages other than Firefox, e.g. XFCE), NOT about which browser I need or whether I need it. So, yes, I didn't think Bruce's answer was appropriate either. And to answer Ken's question in short, I tend to run on salvaged and hand-me-down hardware, so I try to make my systems lightweight, e.g. XFCE instead of KDE or Gnome. I don't like having to have, or maintain, competing toolkits. If'n I wanted bulk, I'd install one of the "kitchen sink" distros. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
