Thanks for this update. Very helpful. Re Browse, it is a know problem: the underlying library is no longer maintained in Ubuntu, hence the switch to Surf, which uses Webkit. It would be great to learn a bit more about what other activities run and don't run. I imagine that Csound may not be installed, so many of the music activities will not run, for example. regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
