We have so much computer power in our lab, but Windows just kills optimized use of it. So I'm trying to get them on to FreeBSD, but if I then also ask them to put extra effort in get simple things going......they turn my offer happily down and continue with Windows..... And if even I don't get things working properly (flash etc.) then how can I expect them to do that? > >>Moreover: how do I get rid of that annoying dialog "Default Plugin", >>which asks me to "Click OK to download Plugin." when an unknown plugin >>is encountered? This is annoying, because when I click "OK", I get a >>webpage telling me that there's no such plugin for my OS. >>I want to get rid of this, once and for all.

So can I thus combine: FreeBSD-mozilla + linux-flash-plugin ? Thanks for your help and comments! Rob.
