    I'm going to beta test it right now... in Fedora Core 4. And I'm gonna send an error report if it doesn't work, too.

    "You must do the 'Windows Genuine Advantage' thingy before it'll install."

    user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install msie7

    Building dependency tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package msie7
    user@ubuntu:~$

    Firefox is using just 24.8MB of memory.

    Did you know that the abbreviation for gigabytes is GB, not MB?
