This is offensive. I am a grandmother, and a C programmer. So tell us the truth: can you use it?
You comment looks like a silly joke, nobody who reads it will believe that you are either female or a grandmother. If you want people on/. to take you seriously when you are offended, you must use the proper terminology. In this case, that would be "I am a grandmother, you insensitive clod".
Why did they take the Help documentation out? Exactly the lack of documentation is one of the biggest problems with open source software. If there is a problem with the web browser, then there is a good chance that the user won't be able to browse the Mozilla site to get to the help documentation that would help him.
The bad news is that if they send me chain letters again, I'll have to block them, as I only have so much magic available. I swear if you do it one more time I'm gonna report your ISP and say you were sending me kiddie porn you f*ck up.
Uh, I cannot log in with Sugar. The machine just freezes and needs four seconds worth of begging on the Power button to shutdown. For some reason I suspect that I have either a conflict with Compiz-Fusion, or the proprietary ATI driver.
If you subtract the Jar-Jar Binks crap, and deleted some of the kid's dialog, it certainly would be better than either of the two movies that followed it. Someone did that. Google "The Phanom Edit".
Lots of people right now (including me) are having big problems with Flash video in firefox. There is a problem somewhere in the Firefox3-FlashPlayer-Pulseaudio that causes the browser to just crash when watching flash videos. (really frustrating when trying to watch shows on Hulu.com). I'm on Kubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3b5, and I see flash video just fine. YouTube and my personal site work perfectly. I tried to check hulu.com for you and the "ur not in the US sukrz" message showed perfectly as well.
Fedora will have rpm, Ubuntu will have apt. And if at some point you decide that rpm suits your needs better than apt (just an example), you will switch regardless of the release cycle. The package manager pretty much is the only difference between the big distros today. Do you want RPM or DEB? Now, I know that Fedora is bleeding edge, and Ubuntu is cutting edge, and Debian is well tested. But with one yum / apt-get command I could configure any one of them to be indistinguishable from any other.
If this had existed by now, Mozilla would have known when to aim for a Firefox 3 release so that OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora and any other coordinated releases would be able to distribute their official 3.0 (and not beta5, as a couple distros decided to do). I don't want Mozilla to work around the distro's schedules. Then they will be forced to ship inadaquete code to meet the deadline. I want Mozilla to be free to make their software on their own time, and some distros will decide to wait, and some won't. The user can than choose the stable or the cutting edge distro.
Why the hell would KDE wait for SuSE? It doesn't matter if upstream is ready a little before downstream. However, if it happened the other way 'round, SuSE would have the option of either releasing a little late or not including that version. This wouldn't disrupt the whole system because no one is waiting for the distros (well, except the users). It does disrupt the whole system. Ubuntu LTS had to include a beta web browser (Firefox 3) because the old version would not have been supported by Mozilla for the three years that Canonical has to support the OS.
I don't want to see this. If everyone is releasing a new version in April, and for whatever reason I need to do an install in May, then I have no choice but a 6-month old distro. I often install Ubuntu / Fedora / SomethingElse depending upon who's got the latest release when I need to install.
Another reason is the load of distributing the software and problem solving. Imagine what would happen to the mirrors if nobody downloaded a distro for 6 months, then in one month every linux user is downloading a new distro. Bittorrent is not usable by everyone, and the http and ftp servers will be hammered. Then, on linuxquestions.org, there will be in one month all the support questions that could have been spread out over the entire 6 months.
Even worse now, some of the Fedora login screens now list the names and icons of all the users known in the password file. In the past, you just had a Google style single line for the username, then the password. KDM has this as the default, but it is easily removed in Kcontrol. As is everything else.

It's got a ton of dependencies (at least, on Kubuntu 8.04):
