It's about time Netscape came out with something new. I'm not a fan of the AOL crap-ware, however, that is bundled with it. Firefox is my personal favorite.

I ran across this intriguing article about a guy who developed a device that can pulverize anything and turn it into very fine (1/100th the diameter of a human hair) powder. Check out this article. DynamicMan

My favorite used to be Slackware because the directory tree made sense to me and all configuration files were pre-populated and commented for easy learning. But it was/is not the easiest for getting up and going in a graphical environment. I tried Redhat for awhile but, despite its popularity, I like to keep it simple and Redhat seemed/seems too complex. Recently I noticed on DistroWatch, a website that tracks virtually all linux distributions, that Ubuntu is now the most popular distribution. So I downloaded it and installed it on my new 64-bit laptop. After a few days using it in a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP I liked it so much that I obliterated XP. Now I only boot Ubuntu on my laptop. It is not cluttered like other distributions, but has all the essential stuff like OpenOffice.org, Evolution Mail, and Firefox web browser. It also makes it easy to add more packages as you need to. Hope this helps! DynamicMan

I got a new AMD Turion 64 laptop for Christmas. I installed Ubuntu Linux (64-bit version) and started browsing with Firefox. When I got to a flash enabled site, I downloaded the plugin and as I tried to install it, a dialog box popped up stating that flash does not support 64-bit operating systems or something like that. Has anyone else had that problem? Is Macromedia going to make a 64-bit version?
