I'll take a look into the opera linuxplugin wrapper port too so I can get both Mozilla and Opera sync'ed. I should start work sometime this weekend because I need to finish off another project (Javascript / HTML-based installer and package updater for work) before I move to California. Speaking of which, any Windows admins on this list want me to post the source for the installer / updater / package manager on sourceforge? It may come in handy. I don't expect anyone to use it for Unix since scripting in Unix is excellent already, but I'm going to automatically add in Windows support and maybe Mac OSX support as well, but that's iffy.. I'm only going to working for my IT firm for a while, so support would be beer-based funding, if anyone's interested :D. - -Garrett -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFpa8DEnKyINQw/HARAtEGAJ4tKn0wA9VjttQK4WO3xDpwNGXJOgCfV23U sVzMixzcti0ss4J9nUTv9lg= =dOMI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
