I laughed at the time, thinking how this little fledgling browser was irritating the supergiants. Now it's firefox that won't 'share' it's name, even with what is obstensiably the same thing. It's amusing. And wasn't there even another , pre'Firefox' name for the browser? =20 I like the idea of calling it a blatant (but legal) ripoff, like 'FlameVixen' or something. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
