Not necessarily. What are the environments? Which distro? and is it 32 bit or 64? Which version of FF? I had awful problems with Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit and FF and flash, none with the 32. Once 7.10 and 8.04 came out I still haven't had any issues with 32 or 64. My Debinn box (etch) however only seems to work well with 32 bit and I have to use the actual FF not IceWeasel. > > > -- > Michael O'Keefe | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Live on and Ride an 06 BMW R12GS HP2 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | > I like less more or less less than |Work:+1 858 845 3514 / | > more.
