Yes, right about when Debian will finally update to Firefox 3.6.
I've never quite understood people who are running Debian on desktop...
- JoshTriplett 15y agoNot everyone cares about having the latest bits. Sometimes, you want a system which you don't have to upgrade or fiddle with frequently. And yes, that can include desktop systems, particularly desktop systems other than your own. :)
- bzbarsky 15y agoGiving these "not your own" desktop systems an old, slow, and out-of-support web browser doesn't seem like a favor....
- regularfry 15y agoI run Debian Squeeze on the desktop because I have jobs I want that desktop to do for me, without my having to worry about it unexpectedly not being able to do them. However, I treat Squeeze more as a base to build on than as a complete system. For instance, I work with Ruby via rvm, not native, and use a Firefox Nightly build. In that sense it makes a rock-solid foundation: anything that I'm not responsible for, works. Anything I am responsible for is my call, and can't break the underlying system unless I try quite hard.
