Hello James, If you could test both ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron and fedora 9 sulphur, I would be very appreciated. :-) I have used both ubuntu and fedora, although I'm only using hardy right now. I want to know which is superior in web surfing. Looking forward to your full URL strings tomorrow. Thanks, shao xuan This message posted from opensolaris.org
