Pretty much assume that anything 'normal' you can browse on a Windows box needs to be browsed on a Linux box.
After seeing Linux running in my home recording studio my 70+ year old father decided he wants to dump Windows and try Linux. However, he doesn't have the background to do this himself, so he's asked me to set up a machine for him to replace his old Windows box. I've done that. It's up and running, with Mozilla, Evolution, Alsa for sound (since I use Alsa) and Crossover Office so he can still work with Word and Excel. As I use his new machine, (not delivered to him yet) trying to make web browsing more enjoyable seems important. On my boxes it isn't, but it's mostly because I haven't studied how to make it work well. This weekend I was trying to learn about the plug-in architecture and find some set of solutions that worked. I got part way, but not really very far. That's what I'm trying to do. This evening I will try plugger-5.0 against the plugger test page. Tell me more about gxine. Would it be a good solution for this application? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
