proxy : p r i v o x y

[R.L. Reingard]

hm, Lee, that was a good idea with 'privoxy'. eventhough, i always get  
restless, when i am not able to use a GUI, this time i found somewhere on  
the website of privoxy.org the right command to run (/etc/init.d/privoxy  
start). and guess what, it runs smoothly, and i am surprised, haha. okay,  
i read, privoxy is not able to use the FTP protocol.
do you use privoxy yourself?
thank you,
René
