Thanks for the reminder. It's been okay for me so far, but I'm glad that dillo is there as a backup. > there's firefox available, but it's slightly slower and takes > more resources.

OOo loaded pretty slow, unfortunately. This box is a wobbler, meaning that it is a little too fast to waste DSL, and a little to slow for optimal performance with Ubuntu. > > > > For myself, I use SuSE 9.2 for my legal work, and Linspire 5.0 > > for audio ripping and editing.

I tried to install Minislack once, and it wasn't pretty. I hear lots of true geeks singing the praises of Slackware, so I have lots of respect for it, but it is out of my reach as a simple end user. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
