I forget, because Chrome was one of those one evening wonders that I took back out. But it was Linux so it didn't find it in the registry.
But I'm kinda spoiled by Firefox and couldn't believe Explorer 8 when it got into my daughter's computer. It looked like nothing. So just spending one evening with Chrome says more about Firefox than it says about Chrome. Firefox is not in the default install in Kubuntu. They think that you are going to use Konqueror. But igoogle immediately warns you that not all of its features are going to work in Konqueror. You have to donwload Firefox after the install on KDE. I also assummed that the KDE package manager was a Synaptic front end and it wasn't. So neither package manager knew about everything installed in my system. My church streams it's Sunday service and the minister had a clear preference that I not watch the stream in a program called "Dragon Player." On Mon, 2010-03-01 at 11:47 -0500, Derek J.
