You forgot the fact that what you used isn't an Ubuntu-exclusive function, you just used Synaptic Package Manager; most popular Linux distros come with a package manager that functions exactly the same, including Fedora and OpenSUSE. Wish there weren't so many tards who buy into this though, just learn to compile a tarball manually or hell, use Kompile; it'll do it for you.

Yeh, but I would have guessed most non-Ubuntu users already know how to use their package managers :-)

You are right though that most distros do come with equally good or better package managers. (Arch/pacman FTW)

how fast's your computer?

[TopHatStuff]

That one's 1.6 Ghz Dual-Core Pentium. I kinda cheated in that it the package had already downloaded though ;-)

Linux and firefox, do you need a better combo?

[TopHatStuff]

Too right mate!

Have you tried Swiftfox? It's Firefox optimized for Linux - and it is *sweet*!

firefox3 comes with 8.10 you shouldn't need to install it anymore, you might want to put that in your vids info.
