I love Galeon (found latest Galeon to be the first stable release in my Linux Lapbox). It does the job in such a clean intuitive time saving way it makes me hate IE for it's lack of style:-)
If given the option, i'd only check to see if my site renders well on IE and Mozilla. An it's a problem, because the Windows zealots doesn't want me to change the things to look well in Mozilla is the make it look a 0.0001% different for IE.:-) It's WAR. (but truly, 98% of the visitors use IE)
Well i have 195ms latency to the yahoo servers and looks great to me. I am 10.000 miles away from the USA so that means packets are traveling at 1/3 of the speed or light:-)
And i am living at a really underdeveloped country. We have worst credit than Nigeria! Yes i am from Argentina. (Now really, you really have THAT latency?)...
2) Has passed at least a month, and nothing really important is fixed in the next releases.
3) It's reported to be stable by many users
It's self explanatory why i think and mostly everyone knows it. I keep with the lastest release if i need a feature. Else i wait some time and see how the kernel did for others.
About the x.odd.z kernels, i never try them on any server/workstation.
I am currently experimening Windows Replacement for desktop use in consulting firm. I have my Laptop with a Windowsless install and seem to be doing pretty well (no "lose of productivity" or "Can't do this/Can't that").
So that accounts to 1 Linux box and 26 Windows boxes (i can use other apps, but this are program matches for Windoze users migrating).
- GNOME+Sawfish: bans Windows
- Evolution: bans MS Outlook (100% success)
- Galeon: bans Internet Explorer (98% success)
- Abiword: bans MS Word (95% success)
- GNumeric: bans MS Excel (90% success)
- Bluefish: bans UltraEdit (90% success)
- ICU: bans ICQ (100% success)
- Pan: bans every newsreader (100% success)
- gftp: bans every ftp winclient (90% success)
- Samba+LinNeighborhood: bans MS WfW
- MPlayer+XMMS: bans Media Player (yes, people use Winamp at work to listen to their music. And sporadicaly some.asf's).
- GIMP: bans Photoshop (80% success).
- Wine as a last resource: bans a lot!
I can do almost everything and colaborate like if i was a Windows user. No need to tell my colleages to use "Open Standards" or Compatible soft.
Every post i read discusses how to block and how to detect a block. And the war may go on forever until people realize one little detail:
Blocking is allowed because content and ads are somewhat disimilar in the way of calling or in graphics dimensions (ads URL are very easy to detect nowadays).
Now, my solution is:
Make banner content similar to normal content in everyway possibe, and make content more banner like. And for a fully featured antiblock, vary the URIs or switch URI callings between ads and content. (example: dont call banners with/adserver/4534i5938457734653569349584/ad05.gif)
And then dare blockers block the ads.
Note to blockers: some very usefull sites are financed by ads. They aint asking you for much. You can always choose to not to visit them.

A criteria for a stable version is:
1) It's x.y_even_number.z
2) Has passed at least a month, and nothing really important is fixed in the next releases.
3) It's reported to be stable by many users

Which brings up the not much talked about topic that *Linux is killing other retail unixes and NOT windows* :(
After a while I can promise that you'll see two business models in the industry:
- "profit from hardware" revenue models (Linuxed)
- "profit from software" models (Windozed).
Of course there will be some gray areas here and there (like "profit from the net").
