I like the idea of Chromium more for a distant feature release, both Chromium and Epiphany should be better than Firefox on thin clients (and I think netbooks as well). Chromium is starting to get some nice plugins as well. I guess it's too early to think about it anyway, but I quite like chromium :) -Jonathan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
