I have different distros (including winXP) on them and use each for those tasks for which it is better suited. Everything CAN be done on one of the other machines but works better on one in particular. I remember a gutsy xorg-xserver-core update that broke i810 video. I had to keep an old version around and reinstall it after every upgrade to avoid a big black stripe across the screen. I guess it wasn't as smooth as I remembered. Are both versions of firefox installed or do I have to do something? Thanks for this insight. Attachment:
