[LUG] Mmm upgrades



Mozilla.org has just released a new new version of Firebird, 0.8, only it's 
not called that anymore.  After another name change it is now called 
Mozilla Firefox.  Seems to be just about the same as 0.7, but I have not 
yet used it enough to check if they have fixed that annoying occasional 
bug with form textentry fields.  The mozilla ftp site seems a little 
stressed out at the moment but it has hit the uk mirror service so you can 
find it here:

Also upgraded to KDE 3.2 on my SUSE 9.0 system using Suse's rpms (also 
available on the UK Mirror service.  This version of KDE definitely feels 
quicker and more responsive on my Athlon 700 so I guess there must have 
been quite a bit of work "under the bonnet". As for eye candy - I'm not 
sure I will get used to the "application starting" icon which now 
_bounces_ along at the side of the mouse.  Kmail has an "as-you-type" 
spell checker and Konqueror has not crashed yet!  So far so good.
