Now of course a higher rate could sustain a much higher percentage, but factoring in they have a new release out, I'm not sure I'm that impressed. I did look at the Firefox download stats site, but there isn't data in a reasonably accessible format. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
