Re: Firefox rebranding issues

Arch recently upgraded to FF 2.0 in the stable repositories and has rebranded Firefox to Bon Echo. I don't think they have, no :) .

I run emacs - err, i mean Slackware - on the three machines that i've got here in my house, one running 10.2, one running -Current and my laptop running 11.0 (though the -Current and 11.0 branches are really identical at the moment), and it's as stable and fast as always.

I've got just about 30 dollars right now, all in all, and that sure ain't enough to build a good GNU/Linux box, and they sure...
