Since I could not get firefox to work on the terminals I installed opera.
I cannot get opera to work but here is what I discovered, when I click on
opera I get the following message: "it appers another instance of opera is
using the same configuration directory because its lock file is active:
/home/rswift/.opera/lock" I also can not save a file to openoffice. It
says I do not have the right permissions. I did chown my home directory
and it made no differnece to either. I have no problems when I am on a
windows machine. Is there some config file on the terminal  that I might
have wrong that is screwing up permissions or how they are seen on the
samba/ldap server?
