Hi, i'm still a bit puzzled (normal for me)
Firefox Chromium Thunderbird FileZilla etc. All are programmes that require the net. What about AbiWord, Gnumeric, or even Open Office? As all installations of *buntu have a browser then imho, putting the most up to date wiki page on for that application in html format makes sense to me (pfd can 'do' links, but it is a long time since I used that rather expensive programme). Things can never be fully up to date, but those who have access to update / upgrade would presumably have access to get updated instructions? Regards, Phill.
