"the importance of events lends strength and clarity to the particular oration"
Excellent point.
BTW, your <passing nod> caught me by surprise and really cracked me up. I couldn't stop laughing for several minutes. I really enjoy the sense of humor you and a lot of FReepers have and express here at FR. Sometimes I set 'em up with a good straight line without realizing it. And other times, I can't help but jump on a straight line that someone else posted. It's a hoot.
Keep on foldin'. 8-)

"the importance of events lends strength and clarity to the particular oration"
I don't know much about Linux or the various flavors of it, but someone recommended MEPIS to me for an older system that I have. I tried it and it installed very easy, found all the old hardware and my wireless network, and the setup was very easy. It's now folding 24/7 and that's all it does, so I really haven't learned much about it. It does use the K desktop, but you can choose Gnome (which I've never seen).
Here's a link to check it out: MEPIS Good Luck.

Not to worry--I figured it out. I've read good things about Mepis.
Good afternoon! I have Kubuntu installed, and I love it! I have a Firefox problem, though, and I thought maybe you've run into it.
I installed 1.5.0.4 this morning, and it runs fine except that:
It shuts down in preferences if I try to access the "Privacy," "Content," or "Advanced" tabs. [I'd really like to change fonts.]
Firefox also just shuts down when I try to set my preferences in some extensions [Tab Clicking Options is one].
Now, this never happened in FF in Widnows or in Mac OS X.
Is there a setting I need to change somewhere?
Problem solved. For some reason, the Silver theme [my favorite] isn't compatible with FireFox in Kubuntu. Sigh. When I uninstalled it, all problems with preferences ceased. Sigh.
