1) I don't believe Firefox is the most standards compliant browser - I use it and it's my favourite, but I recognise that Opera was first: http://annevankesteren.nl/2008/03/acid3-opera-100 2) There's no technical reason why Red Hat can't push Firefox 3.5 as a Tech Preview, but please remember that the RHEL5.4 beta was probably cut months before Firefox 3.5 was released and expecting RH to work it through Release Engineering in the typically 3 month beta cycle is probably pushing it given the amount of testing they'd have to do. Maybe you should ask for it for RHEL 5.5! -- Sam _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
