Sidux comes loaded with it’s own version of Mozilla Firefox, as do most other distros of Linux. I have already written an article about my experience with Firefox 3, which is what my wife is using.

I tried Sidux about 6 months ago, but never could get it up and running on either desktop or laptop. I can hardly wait for Simply Mepis 8 to go gold, it'll be sweet. No problems with version 7.0 at all. Speaking of, if people would give Linux a solid try, they might just find how great it is.

There should be one for new messages. I am using the latest Opera 9.6 beta right now, but I have been using Firefox 3.0.1 a lot, especially at work on Windows XP. I have found Opera doesn't seem to work properly on Wordpress at times, especially when I am writing a post. It is better on Linux than on XP. I haven't had a problem with it crashing, it just doesn't seem to work right, little things like quotes in the visual editor, stuff like that. Ron,

It's mainly used for just a few sites I need occasionally, though. It crashes more than I get to use the program, and that's quite puzzling to me. I've slimmed down to just the basic skin, and that's helped a lot, but don't know why. On my laptop and desktop Simply Mepis Linux boxes, Swiftweasel 3.0 is working flawlessly. Swiftweasel is Firefox optimized for Linux according to which processor you use. Very nice, and all the extensions and themes work. I have to ask about Opera's RSS reader. Is there a notification when a feed is updated? Glad I found this post, as I’ve been using Opera 9.51 for Linux for a short while, too.

I love how you can zoom in and out with the +/- buttons. Opera is very customizable for everybody's needs. Also, it's secure. I have yet to get any spyware, etc. installed when using Opera. I tried Firefox 3's beta and was hijacked within 10 minutes. Going to those same sites in Opera, nothing bad happened. I let everyone know about Opera. Try it.
