thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of time. it just took me the last two hours to get this far with the ldd cheking. i had an experimental xf4.3 installed before too, and it worked fine. now that i upgrade it breaks (not to mention i had to remove all x-dependend apps and reinstall just for this; okay, maybe my own stupidity). whatever. now im happy. but this one had been gone smoother. chers.
I found the NetBSD installer the best and easiest installer i have ever passed through. I started using NetBSD by version 1.4.2 and i only kept it first because the installer was that nice and easy to handle. Ever gone thru the Debian installer? Oh my! I hadnt to rue the decission:-) NetBSD simply rocks!
php may be better for web based solutions, but perl can be used for everything you can think of, for example GUI apps. and as usual its a matter of taste. use what you like to use. perl rocks!:)
I know that competition in the browser market is good, but what is not good is the fact that all browsers display and interpret things differently. If all browsers would go exactly for the standards (or interpret them the same way.. yes yes (; ), there would'nt be a problem with this, but if you try to develop something, you know what I mean. Its no fun at all. You have to check things for at least three different browsers. Some browsers doesnt support this e.g. CSS tag, some interpret it different.. its just weird. What I positively can see with Opera 6, that it now tries to show things as nearly the way Mozilla does, but some CSS stuff is still missing. For me Mozilla is still the choice, because it really shows things as you would expect it to do. Plus, Mozilla is open source and can be ported to nearly all platforms. A website designed for the Gecko engine looks the same everywhere, no matter what platform it runs on. Just as example, IE/mac and IE/win.. . And I cant reproduce that Opera renders faster than Mozilla, it just uses less memory. Thats all what I can see. When tested with some websites, Mozilla always renderd faster thatn Opera, and I use aa fonts in Mozilla, but not in Opera. Well, ok, just my 2.

You cant compare the base 7MB of IE to the other browsers, since components of it are already loaded after the system start.
