I'd suggest you use a higher-level GNU/Linux distro. Slackware
requires much more attention to detail.
Yes, but Rule 1 about choosing distributions is to ALWAYS pick the same
one your consultant/helper/husband uses :-)
Is there any real advantage over firefox?
Chrome has a number of advantages. It has a smaller footprint, has a
faster rendering engine and faster Javascript engine. There's less
GUI eye-candy.
One great feature is that each tab runs as its own process, so if one
tab page hangs or crashes, that one tab page dies, and not the whole
browser. Imagine if you have 6 or 7 tab-pages open and one of them
crashes on Firefox - the whole browser will crash - with Chrome, only
that one tab crashes.
Sorry for going off-topic. alt.os.linux or
comp.os.linux.setup/comp.os.linux.misc USENET groups would be more
appropriate for general GNU/Linux questions/discussions outside of
running Picasa on GNU/Linux :)
Thread drift. Mea culpa.
