Can you imagine. "This linux distro doesn't even have Firefox? What kind of lame distro is this!" There's nothing to stop anyone who knows better from installing Epiphany. I started using it a while back and I love it. In fact, it had "Places" way before Firefox 3. It also appears to load a lot faster and not bog down my computer as much as Firefox. I'm also not an add-on junkie. The latest extensions for Epiphany in Fedora 8, which includes GreaseMonkey, should probably cover most people. However, if you're heavy on the extension use, you should not use Epiphany. Like any other choice in FOSS, it comes down to you using whatever you want. That's the beauty of the overwhelming number of choices. - -- Eric Mesa ericsbinaryworld@xxxxxxxxx http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com Note: All emails from this address should have a GPG signature.
