[PLUG] speaking of non-distro stuff...

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

the default kubuntu install does not include firefox.  Konqueror is nice, but 
there are way too many web sites where it just doesn't work.

But if you sudo aptitude install firefox, it wants to install gnome and much 
of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage -- almost 100 packages.

So I grabbed firefox from the mozilla website.  But it doesn't run in gutsy 
because it wants libstdc++.so.5, but Gutsy includes 6 but not 5.  
Fortunately, I had 5 on another machine and could copy and link it.  But it 
shouldn't be this hard to install something like firefox.  it just shouldn't.
