I just took an update today for the software on my system and I was pleasantly surprised that Ubuntu has finally upgraded the Firefox Beta 5 version to the RC 1 version. I€™m going to give it a whirl and see where it takes me. So, how long for the RC 2 that is already out? Will Ubuntu jump straight to Final when it comes out? I did just find out what the rationale was for including FF3 in the Hardy Heron release when I finally got around to listening to the last Fresh Ubuntu podcast. The developers were thinking to what browser would be the current technology during the life cycle of this release of the distribution. remember that Ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS release.
As long as Firefox 3 has the real Fullscreen €œOpera€ functionality, I am happy! But how do you cycle via the keyboard through the opened up tabbed pages?
By the way how is Mint coming along?
Mint is polished, but I€™m finding it to be a bit sluggish compared to Ubuntu. I might try the Fluxbox edition, as the tools are all in the right place and they€™re nice. I€™m going to try and play around with it for a bit and give it a proper layman€™s review, I think.
