For me, the behavoir of the back button (or pop-up) has changed from 0.9.6 to 0.9.7. Previously, Back would take you back one frame in a website using (yuck) frames. Now it takes you back to the previous web site, totally off the one you're on. And I prefer the "back one frame" behavior.
Please tell me if I'm a doofus and there's a setting that controls this. I can't find any such thing. Or is this the "correct" behavior of the Back button? TIA.
Egad! Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I've had Adelphia's PowerLink for one year now. My local service is one-way (uses phone modem for uplink) but they use the General Instrument SURFboard 1000 cable modem which has had a very good Linux driver for some time (Hi, Franco! Where are you???:^)
At first I was totally pleased and stoked about their service. I got >60kB/sec download speeds routinely, and as high as 110kB/sec. That blows away the local DSL competition, which is 256kbits/sec bidirectional. They do have "no server" rules, but to me that's no big whoop FWIW. I mean, this is a one-way cable modem, and I personally understand where they're coming from with this rule. BTW, you get your own web site on home.adelphia.net when you sign up so you don't need to run your home box as a web server!
However, my local office seems to be getting very oversubscribed now. I'm talking to some local networking experts about this and their current consensus is that the T-1s are probably saturating, even though Adelphia *swears* on a stack that they aren't. Too many subscribers, not enough bandwidth, and they don't seem to be adding more T-1s either. Generally the evening download rates are only 10kB/sec. Heck, my phone modem can almost do that.
So, I have no experience with @home, but it all depends on how big a pipe they have to the 'net versus the number of local subscribers. I guess other issues like congestion on your neighborhood coax and headend/router problems could also figure in, YMMV.
P.S.: I'd like to be able to contact you directly but I didn't see an e-mail address/link on this Ask Slashdot article.
The current logo is quite nice, its only drawback as I understand it is that its a penguin logo. Debian now has a Hurd distribution so they wanted to get away from being all penguins.
I submitted several logos but the authoritarian figure at gimp.org running the contest threw mine out without even notifying me. It didn't fit a narrow interpretation of his rules, so out it went without so much as a thank-you-try-again.
Anyway, all these logos suck except for the current one. I may not be a graphic designer, but I know a good logo when I see one. I guess this goes to show you that good developers don't necessarily have to have skills in the graphic arts:^)

Chill. I'm guessing /. is still "in trasition" to Andover, so multi-redundant backup and high-availabilty is still in the works. Si?

Well if it isn't Chicken McGregg, with a leg for a wing and a wing for a leg!
