Just be aware that I think chromium is not packaged on PCLinuxOS, so they don't have the chromium choice. It's also the case for Debian and Fedora. Regards, Julien Lavergne Le mardi 02 février 2010 à 12:01 -0400, Glen Bizeau a écrit : > Doing some looking at what some other distros do. > > http:

Thanks, Dwain, but actually I think Julien's right and I do see more problems with the script idea I suggested. To the rest of the list, it looks like PCLXDE (from a separate email) has quite a good software suite. FWIW, I'm officially on board with Midori. Which begs the question, is there going

Doing some looking at what some other distros do. http://blog.lxde.org/?p=423 PCLXDE (PCLinuxOS) They include Midori as well. http://blog.lxde.org/?p=569 Fedora 12 LXDE Spin includes FF and I know the XFCE-LXDE of Debian does FF. I am changing my Vote to Midori, it seems to cover the bases e

what about a little script that checks the amount of ram of the computer and then set FF for more than 512mb ram as default and others when theres less ram? a window opening at first launch of the browser where you can choose between some browsers seems also ok, but it has to be easy and clear. Th

The fact that there has been this much discussion on this topic is proof to me that Jeff Stone's original idea is the way to go. If you make a hard to change choice, many users will be unhappy. But if you make a good choice with the default (Chromium or Midori or whatever) that will be OK, but m

I think this is one of those time when we are all going to agree to disagree... Julien, if we go with Midori, can we put a script or shortcut on the desktop that will install FF? Personally I think this would fit the bill, have a lite browser, but give users who don't know very much a "simple" wa
