(I run it on my laptop. So fast and steady.) Just wanted to add that Opera is the best web browser I've ever used. It's worth paying them the $35 fee to disable banners & fully register it. (If, like me, you use a web browser all day for everything.) The other good tip is to save all your Windows fonts, and read the FreeBSD manual about how to use TrueType fonts, anti-aliased. It really is a wonderful thing. Then there's a setting (I forget now) you can use so that Opera uses these anti-aliased TrueType fonts. Very beautiful. And will let you see all websites as they were designed for the Windows majority. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
