Great. Now, post-upgrade, firefox crashes on me regularly. I can’t work like this. I hate to say it, but the Gnome flavor of Ubuntu is looking more and more apealing.

My girl friend’s step father has passed away. He had been diagnosed with bladder cancer early last year. And despite his determination and effort [...]
