Thats why I say "what's the point". It's not like saying "gee Pat doesn't include mplayer - wish he did cuz compiling it's a pain." It's easy (firefox) and it's beta and it gets redone every 3 weeks - why should he bother. Moot point really as he will likely include it and thunderbird when they are not beta releases. Quote:

Is there any big advantage to Firefox? So far, I've just stuck to Mozilla.

And no, not lazy, especially when I'm compiling kernel 2.6.8.1 on a Centrino laptop and getting everything to work. Guh... Firefox rules! |

I understand where you are coming from with the "user-friendly" comment, but sometimes people can benefit from being forced to learn a little - depends on the person I guess. In order to sell a lot of computers (and OS's) wintel had to make the computer look like anything BUT a computer. I have a friend who has a laptop I would kill for and all she does is play spider solitaire and surf the web. [sigh] There are a lot of people with a lot of machine and very little clue. |
Like was already said, I'm sure that once Firefox and Thunderbird are out of beta, they'll be in. And while I think they're great programs, I also think they're a little hyped. Epiphany runs a little better for me than Firefox on Linux (some of the devs commented that the original plan for Firefox was to be the best Windows browser, Linux was a later idea).

I can't see them making it anything but more difficult.
I download new version. Delete current firefox directory. Untar file. Done, thats it. Works like a champ for me. Granted most programs are not that easy. FFox, Thunderbird & Sunbird are though. |
