Has anyone figured out how to change the default browser that the htmlview program uses? I tried changing the deafult browser with the control panel (set it to galeon), but all of the icons that launch browsers launch htmlview, which in turn launches mozilla. Of course I could chnage the launchers themselves, but this htmlview program seems like it's suposed to launch the default browser. Any ideas?
I'm using it now, and I have to say, this is the nicest distrto I have ever used. The default themes are good and clean, the fonts look *far* better than anything before it (with the exception of the MS fonts) and the default apps work well. OpenOffice is a tad slow to launch, but past that, the speed overall is far, far faster. The configuration tools are pretty nice, I haven't spent much time with the server daemon config tools (those kinds of things scare me), but the user environment config tools are nice. I had no problems getting netowrk connections set up and all of my hardware detected fine. I had none of the mouse issues that Eugenia described in her earlier article. The two things that really stand out to me are (1) the speed. Nautilus fles, it's actually usable now, even on slower(!) 450's like the one I'me on now. (2) The look, it's just plain beautiful, but of course that's a personal opinion kind of thing. This release is definately a worthy upgrade, and finally something I wouldn't feel somewhat guilty about recommending to my non-geek friends. Oh, and did I mention that it's faster?
Devshed has to be one of the best sites I've come accross for PHP Programming. It has great articles and the forums are fantastic, I've always been able to get help there. It's got other sections besides the PHP and MySQL stuff, but I have no idea how good they are. If your into PHP and/or MySQL or just general web development and you haven't been to devshed.com, then by all means check it out! --Aaron
It's funny, I always read about how the nightlies were so much faster and I noticed some improvements when I upgraded every few weeks or so, but tonight I actually went and grabbed a nightly of 9.1 or 9.2 and it surprised me. It actually really does feel solid and fast. I stopped with netscape with mozilla 8.something, but now I don't feel like I'm losing anything. I can't wait for 1.0.

I was thinking, and I don't think that congressmen come up with all this stuff about eradicating anonimity and privacy on their own. In fact i don't think that they come up with much of anything on their own, it's probably mostly lobyists and people who write in.
This begs the question, who is coming up with this stuff and lobying for it. What companies or individuals are so threatened by the abilty to send anonymous e-mail that they want to remove the ability to send it?
I live this exact problem every day. However, as time has gone on and I have developed relationships with those around me, I have noticed a decrease in 'age discrimination'. More people seem to listen to my ideas and not my age, which is a major bonus. It used to frustrate me to no end when I would do something great or educate my 'peers' and then be ignored because I was less than half their age. Since my hiring, however, I have seen a huge increase in the number of younger workers in my organization, and we are seen with more and more respect. All I can say is, it takes time.
