Sorry guys, I was going more for sarcastic/funny. (I'm even composing this from Windows, myself!) The point is: having a package replaced is not a big deal, especially when there is a distro-neutral installer for it. Womeone who has been using Linux for 8 years should not take what I said seriously. However, I'll apologize because I didn't mean for it to be an "F U" post. Piotr Dziubinski, I'm sorry. I don't think you should give up on Debian just because Firefox got renamed to Iceweasel: you can still do all the same stuff with it. And if you want, you can download Mozilla's Firefox from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html Angelo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
