Well, running Squeeze, I have: Architecture: amd64 Version: 27.0.1453.110-r202711 which probably represents the last updated version before the transition to Wheezy for my architecture, but how you can get your hands on an older version, as google seems to offer no repository of older versions, I dunno. Then, of course, if you do find and install this older version, you'd be running a browser that is no longer supported, which means its no longer getting any security updates, and that is rather bad form for a PhD. ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Ethan When you have chrome or chromium installed, you might find out the binary name with $ ls /usr/bin /usr/local/bin | grep -F chrom (do not use chrome to also find chromium, on my system the command results in only one line: chromium-browser).
