As I mentioned, things sped up considerably. I got 3 installed, after
removing the 2 that was on there (Karan, the 1.* from original install
is still there so I s/b OK when the new release comes out), got the
plugins done (esp. Java and its console for an app that is fairly
importatnt to me - means I don't have to do Winblows) and looks pretty
good.

It picked up my old user config stuff OK and worked well.

Only observed problem seem to be with a screen layout on a certain
website. Some "tabs" it presents are partially hidden and no amount of
<CTL>+<-|+> will make them visible enough to read completely. I'll have
to browse in settings a bit and see if there is something there that
might cure that problem.

But it'll do what I can use it for.

I've got to say thanks.

I'll post more to this thread if I see any other adverse behavior.

Cable system acting up today - wasted some hour or so on the horn with
tech support.
