[Gloucs] Mandrake browser

[David & Sharon]

No, I'm quite convinced that it is Mandrake's first stage in world 
domination! First my browser, next..... well who knows!

Seriously, the homepage is set on Google, which comes up most of the 
time but defaults to the Mandrake page when I am in a real hurry to look 
at that something on Ebay which has 2secs left to run! or lookup an rpm 
in the 2mins I have before work.
