do yourself a favour - partition your hard drive - and try some other linux systems. watso has tried a few linux systems and seems to have settled for "puppy linux". there are pleny of puppy linux systems - and a lot of the newer ones, include "wine" - and firefox runs beautifully in them (either the puppy linux version - or the windows version - watso seems to like the "portable version" of firefox .... - but seems to be running seamonkey - right now)
