But since I'm retired the latest LTSP setup I used was with Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04. 2015-01-07 1:55 GMT+07:00 Joseph Bishay <joseph.bis...@gmail.com>: > Hello everyone, > > So it seems the majority say go with Firefox, while a few bring up some > good points for Chrome. > > I do have both installed on the LTSP server for the school to use, but I > suppose my question was which should be the default and/or encouraged so as > to manage the load on the server. > > One reason I like Firefox is because I can get global preferences (as > shown here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FirefoxOptimize ) > to help manage things.
