It's a bit slow, particularly when starting, but that's not a problem if you keep it open all day. It's a bit heavy on resources and may be a problem for older computers if multiple tabs are used extensively. If nobody else has mentioned it to you, the names and logos of Firefox and Thunderbird are (intentionally) not under free licence, so Debian does not include them in its main repositories. The actual code is free, so Debian is free to recompile and distribute them under different names and logos, and does so as Iceweasel and Icedove respectively, and of course the original Firefox and Thunderbird are freely downloadable for Linux and Windows. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
