For a long time now I've been using an old Pentium 75 as the

The only problem is that it is old and I wonder what to replace it
with if it dies.

The newer mozillas, e.g. Sid's mozilla-snapshot, have 'default'
fonts which I rather like (of course, 'there is no accounting for
tastes'). In the Preferences menu, the serif font is just called
'serif', the monospace font is called 'monospace'.

Google Earth is now available for Linux at http://earth.google.com.
I tried it on my Sid system and found (so far) two problems:

When I want to print a man page, I usually do
man -t command | lpr
The -t option with man formats the page neatly as Postscript.
