Last year, I had a muti-boot configuration, and SmartBro would only work on one OS (set?) at a time. If I've recently used XP or 2000 and booted to Kubuntu or Fedora, I wouldn't be able to use it unless I authenticate. And when I boot back to Windows, SmartBro would require re-authentication. So I did the Smart(!) thing and completely wiped any traces of Windows on all my computers. Now my family only uses Linux... and we've never been happier. You may have heard some stuff regarding using SmartBro on Linux, but don't bother checking it out. I've been using Torrents, P2P, etc. without any problems. You do need to know though that SmartBro uses a LAN-type setup and you'll only have a private IP address (192.x.x.x). So if you're planning on hosting a server, then I highly suggest you sign up for PLDT since they won't forward ports. But SmartBro is suitable for everything else, and I've been using it for 2 years already without any problems (maybe a few outages every now and then.. 1-2 hours every two months) Hope you find this useful. -- Dax Solomon Umaming http://knightlust.com/ GPG: 0x715C3547 *GPG key 0xEDE9C473 was compromised, please refrain from using the said key.
