Yes, that’s the Ubuntu Virtual Machine loading in the VMWare Player on my laptop. So far, so good on using it, being able to mount the Windows shares from my laptop and work on things. The only things that bug me right now are that I can’t seem to open files and save them directly to the Windows shares from the virtual machine, I have to make a copy in the Linux file system and copy that back over to Windows, and VMWare player doesn’t support wireless cards. That’s ok, it’ll still be a good learning experience, and I can play KBattleship anytime, any place! *L*

    JR did a nice job of describing how easy it was to install the security patch for Firefox, so I won’t try and repeat what he said, but I do have some additional comments. This is exciting. This is the way a browser should update. This changes a lot for Firefox. I don’t know how…
