Re: Installing Firefox

 

Maybe you are right, I don't have a big user base here but I see more
people around me using spins (Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu) than the
Ubuntu. Also, at least in my circles people are using GNOME Remix, not too
much people but I like to think this number will grow up :-)

Anyway, if we decide to keep Firefox and LibreOffice out we will always can
make some posts/tutorials about post installation tweaks.

Cheers,
