| The current final release candidates all use KDE, which has a simpler
| interface for Windows users to transition to Pioneer. It is expected that
| Renegade will be released early next week with a Gnome interface to meet the
| community demand for a different interface. No decisions have been made as of
| yet to include the Gnome desktop as a Basic offering wrapped with support.

Firefox, apply directly to the forehead.

| Firefox 3 beta 1 is totally, freaking, awesome.
|
| There are some bugs. The font work still needs some loving, and there are a
| few instances where the memory gets out of control, but overall, for a
| beta .... wow. Just wow. Alexander Sack (the Ubuntu Firefox maintainer) had
| told me it was really shaping up. But I didn't believe him. I didn't want to
| believe Ryan either. I haven't been this excited about Firefox since 1.0.
| Seriously. I feel like an unbeaten step-child.

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is a winner

| According to Mozilla's blurb: "Firefox 3 Beta 1 is based on the new Gecko 1.9
| Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 27
| months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than
| 11,000 issues." That means little to me. All I'm interested in is
| performance, reliability, look and feel. And from what I've seen so far,
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 succeeds spectacularly in all areas.

“Beautiful” tab switching for Firefox 3
,----[ Quote ]
| Performance-wise, CPU usage spiked from 2-3% to 45-50% during high speed tab
| switching (that is, I kept Ctrl + Tab pressed for a while), but immediately
| went back to previous cool 2-3% usage.
|
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 is expected within the next couple of weeks.
