You clearly don't have a clue.  Ubuntu is about Linux.  Kubuntu is not
Ubuntu's main direction, but it IS a supported option.  Given that (and the
fact that this is not even a Ubuntu survey, it's an OSDL _LINUX_ survey) it
is VERY much apropos that the survey doesn't support one of the two
standard Linux browsers.

All that said, unlike a number of posters here, I'm not actually expecting
Mark Shuttleworth to be reading this list.  He asked people to _mail_
him...  I wasn't reporting "to it's creator", I was blowing off steam about
Linux surveys that don't support Linux browsers.

If the responses given here (that it's not a problem because it works in
Firefox) are any indication of typical Linux users, then it's no surprise
at all that the world at large thinks Linux will never be a threat on the
desktop because they don't believe we're capable of cooperation over things
like desktop (or browser) standards.
