Safari is WebKit based, an entirely different engine from Gecko/Mozilla, and it does behave quite differently from Mozilla at times. There are WebKit(/GTK) browsers for linux in development (see "midori"), and Chrome is still being ported to MacOSX and Linux. I'd love to see at least the process-per-tab approach come to be in firefox so I could run Pandora and Google Reader as isolated apps w/o interfering with the rest of the wooly wild web. > On another Note (no surprise), does anyone have info to offer regarding > creating an VirtualBox XP image > that i can throw on a USBstick?

Microsoft offers gratis "IE Application Compatibility" images in Virtual PC format: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/running-microsofts-ie-application-compatibility-images-virtualbox VirtualBox (2.1.x) knows how to convert them; they run for me without all that qemu-img convert crap (VBoxManage can do the conversion directly), and without any of the mentioned BSOD crap, either, thankfully. Windows 7 beta was (?) available for a gratis download for testing purposes, which included IE8 RC2; I think the though the beta window might be closed, now, though. Since I've been using that, IE8 has passed "candidate" status and has been fully released, and Windows7 is nearing RC/gold-master itself, so that might no longer be an option. In any case, both run totally fine as guests on my Gentoo/VirtualBox-2.1.4 host. I had success with VirtualBox-1.6.6 for those VMs, too … ironically, it was my development *Gentoo* guest that kernel panic'ed during boot under vbox-1.6 that works fine under vbox-2.1.4. Anyways, vbox-2 is way better than 1.6. > Finally, thanks to all who came to the Alchemist for jolly good time!
