Since most indy distros use old forks from Firefox which don't run the
latest plugins, I found it interesting that Chromium is the default here.
The plugins are coming fast for Chromium, but so far no InfoEnter, the FF
plugin I rely on for storing oft-used information.

not sure which show-stopper you're referring to, but one has cropped up
in Maverick regarding xorg. For example, in a Ubuntu Minimal CD install I
was playing with, I could have either xorg or nvidia drivers, but not both.
Which basically meant I couldn't have X!

What's different about Lubuntu's Xscreensaver that allows it to execute when

Thanks, Bob. Regretfully, that didn't do it for me, but I'm not sure if my

I let Synaptic do the update (90+ packages!), but it errored out with

I rebooted normally, and it hung after starting cupsd. A repeat did the
