Slackware 14.1 fits all of the above. I routinely check the USPS site with Firefox. If you don't install the "User Agent Switcher" add-on, stupid websites will complain that your browser is too out of date to be used - but that is my experience with any version of Firefox. (Slackware ships with an ESR release of Firefox 24.) Ben -- Ben Stern This space intentionally left blank.
