</div><div>One of the things that really lets desktop Linux down is the browser experience. </div></div></blockquote><div>what? Opera, Chrome and Firefox are far more superior browsers to MSIE.</div><div>superior in security, page rendering speeds, general usability, etc. </div>

<div>install debian, then apt-get install firefox. job done. </div><div>firefox is the fastest growing browser in the world. </div><div>is your bald statement suggesting that millions of lemmings are wrong (<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp</a>)</div>

<div>The browser is probably the single most important application in a modern operating environment*. Yet Debian has just about the worst browser of any modern OE.</div></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>use firefox then. </div>

<div>The Windows version of Firefox is much more stable and requires fewer megabytes of memory than the Linux version.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>numbers, please!</div><div>they r not that significant.</div>

<div>It uses less memory, it's faster, and has many features that are included as standard that would require extensions in Firefox.</div></div></blockquote><div>what is wrong with using extensions? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<div>It's sad, because I enjoyed every <em>other</em> part of the Linux. But Linux without a half decent browser is practically useless.</div></div></blockquote><div>calling Opera and Firefox (and soon, Chrome) <i>even not a half decent browser</i> is at least stupid (no offence)</div>
