Firefox Support

mbutts,

One final suggestion on my part - post your problem to the Firefox tech support forum. I'm sure your problem is not isolated, and because version 2.0.0.6 has just been recently released, you may have stumbled across a bug which was not detected during regression testing.

WhoDo, I've read your prior posts regarding this methodology and I agree it is by far the most flexible and customizable - following a building-block concept, where each UI deigner can mold their own creation apart from the "core" release. I fully support this strategy and hope this is the...

KVM Virtualization Alternative

The KVM LInux kernel component has been available since the kernel's 2.6.20 release, which *should* make it easier to seamlessly integrate into Puppy in future releases, should virtualization be a desired component in the standard release.

Puppy Support

Flash, Agreed - support is a make or break variable in the equation for Dell, and if you look at the verbiage associated with these Ubuntu machines, it spells out that Dell recommends these machines for a more technical audience, who I'm sure they would prefer solve their own problems. It's also no ...

Consumer demand drives business decisions at Dell, and I don't think my post will generate anywhere near the demand that Dell would require on their idea website to make this happen. Of course my post was in good humor - I hope that's still allowed here - but where the "zealots" will take ...
