i can't seem to understand what's wrong with firefox 3? i mean firefox 3
beta 4 and previous versions of firefox 3 were buggy alright, but beta 5
and the later releases work flawlessly and much lighter than firefox 2!
firefox 2 used to take up to 300 megs of my memory with only 4 tabs, and
without using any excessive flash, only one or 2 simple flash banners.
whereas now, firefox 3 is taking 120 megs with 12 tabs divided in 2
windows! 12 tabs back in gutsy were impossible for me!
as for the rest of hardy, i think it's the best release of kubuntu ever.
light, compatible with loads of new hardware, almost bug free, i never
had any major issue with hardy, unlike feisty or gutsy, and unlike intrepid.
