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.
