Thanks for trying all that Simon. It's good to hear it's the 'real
deal FIrefox I guessed it was Splashtop from an ASUS motherboard
website. I guess you'll be able to update it once they get the latest
in the repositories.

Is that they way they packaged it? I've passed the info on to the
Firevox author Charles Chen.

You need 8Mb for Windows?
Do you have 2 or 4Mb and is it enough with Linux?

It seems we've reached the point where it doesn't much matter what OS
you use for basic office/email/web use, especially if you use web
apps. However accessibility is a bit behind this position.

I'm making sure my Christmas stocking is big enough for one :-)
