Apple has stuck with the SINGLE button mouse since as far back as I can remember. Sure you can get another one... but including such a stupid design by default is a mistake IMO.

Done.


Rather download it?

Download tar.

pkg_add mozilla_whatever.tgz
.....



Done.
Dude, what flavor are you running?

In Debian or Gentoo or Knoppix:

apt-get -install firefox

You can also easily add apt-get support to Fedora/Red Hat and Mandrake. :thumbup:

I like apt-get better than yum.

Red Hat needs to import apt-get.

And the world should get rid of RPMs, because THEY SUCK :madfawk:

Wow this thread has gone to shit.

This is pretty much what I see in all "mac vs pc" disscusions.

Everything is biased and all you post about is "why my machine is 10x better" and about 85% probably haven't even used a Mac.

Or, it gets to posts that they choose Windows over * because it's all they've ever used.

One thing people should think about is, not everyone is a stupid as you, not as poor as you and can think outside their box.

Go ahead and flame away h:

p.s. Installing firefox: Double-Click, drag to applications.

If you think typing a command for the same results makes you cooler & smarter, more power to you
