Sean, Thanks! Will try to be there.
I was able to get an Ubuntu 4.10 Live CD and have been testing it on the P4 Gateway. At first no crashes with FireFox but today crashed at the ABC News site http://abcnews.go.com/wn when was linking to some of the stories from last night 01/16/08. Still have not determined what is causing FireFox to crash on these Live CDs? Any ideas?
