I have been using Linux (PCLOS) and Firefox for well over a year now and
have not even booted windows except to see if it still would. There
have been glitches form time to time but nothing like the troubles I have had with MS
windows over the years. I am currently using Firefox 3 beta 1 and have no
problems. Even in MS Windows Firefox is a snap to install.
There are some reports that the search function returns a blank page but that
doesn't appear to be a browser problem.
By the way, I don't miss the frustration that came boxed with
Microsoft products.
