Actually, Justin, I do use Opera for most of my heavy lifting. Galeon
is quite nice, too. For kicks ... give Nautilus a look-see. You might
be pleasantly surprised at what a file manager can pull out of its
hat. I know I was (and still am). I am really liking it. But the
script for CUPS was calling up Netscape and that was giving me
heartburn. :-\
A lot of my system is still a mystery to me and I haven't enough
hours in the day to track down every script and config file used to
run this beastie. I am the only user on this machine. I have certain
liberties available to me that "real" sysads might not. For instance,
I can wipe the whole darned thing clean and start all over whenever
the mood strikes. At first, that was my response to intractable
problems. I try to avoid that now as I am trying to get my mind into
a "sysad mold". But killing my user files wasn't going to cost me
anything more than a very few links that I couldn't get to anyways
and a cache that I didn't need to cache.
I use this machine for school work and amateur web pages and learning
about Linux. I have 7 browsers. One more or one less wasn't going to
hurt me :-)
