Hi
One of our freebsd systems is a user terminal with desktop. We have constant 
difficulties with web browsing on that platform. Here is the data

2. PROBLEMS
Frequent crashing of all available browsers - seems to be flash related.

3. ADVICE PLEASE
Most reliable browser combination and recomendations of specific port 
combinations which can deliver reliable browsing including flash capability. 

Thanks in advance
