Huuuuu.......... <feeling stupid, trying to hide his 6'6" behind the

I use Galeon, which so far has never failed to reload a site if it needs
to, but Ubuntu' site is set as my home page, so I access it with the a
toolbar icon or mouse gesture. There must be a bug that causes Galeon to
stick with the cache for the home page :-/

Yeah, I can see it now, thanks ! :o)))))

Wow, what to say, it's simply fantastic. I was of course secretly hoping
that the truly phenomenal success of Ubuntu would motive Mark to put
some more money to make Ubuntu better faster, but I hardly dreamed that
he would put that much money, and only 9 months after Warty was
released ! All I can say is that I am so happy to be part of this Ubuntu
adventure since Warty was born, and will delighted to watch its
progression in the PC world over the next 12 month. I don't doubt that
Ubuntu will have reached worldwide stardom by the time 'Longhorn' hits
the market. Sure, Bill will once again sell zillions of copies of it,
but I doubt it will as much a success/monopoly, as Win 95 or XP...
May Ubuntu make a superbe Breezy+2, to put Longhorn as much to shame as
possible :-)

Anyway, a big Thanks to Sir Mark, it's so refreshing to see that such
men can still exist. If only more rich people had the heart and balls
that he has, to push the world in the right direction, it wouldn't take
long to make this hopelessly crap world, a much better place to live in,
for everyone.

So I will try to do what I can to help Ubuntu, in my case, not much,
other than using and enjoying it, spreading the word when I can, and....
reporting as many Breezy bugs as I can LOL !!! :o))))
