Indeed ... Although the new Opera 9.5 is even uglier ...

I tried this on OS X. no matter what I do it always feels kind of sluggish and unresponsive when clicking on links and using form boxes and stuff.

Camino rules!

Not yet, but I probably should. We had version 2 in the digital labs at school and that was pretty awesome, as far as I could tell.

I've been keeping track of this thread, and can't really tell if 3 is worth it or not...?

Actually, I take that back. I never cruised my online photos at school, so I have no idea how great Firefox 2 was for (specifically) photos. But isn't 3 the only version that supports color profiles? I seem to remember hearing/reading something about that.

I am going back to firefox2. 3 isn't stable... it slows down and crashes a lot.

@lucas: minefield is their nightly build name
i ran it for about 3 months and it was a pain. never broken too badly but small things would break (ex. search box, some keyboard shortcut, etc...)

So Virtual Box has OpenGL support. You know they finally ported it to FreeBSD. :) Crazy stuff.

@andre I haven't tried... I accidentally brought down an entire subnet at work last time I worked with bridging. The bloody thing started leaking dhcp responses all over.

@nny yeah, the only way I got networking to work in Virtual Box was using its own port redirection thing (you have to edit some XML file), but it sucks because you have to do it port by port...
