There arent many, but there are some, also a few sites have differnet designs depending on browser and the browser checks can often fail because more often than not they expect either ie or netscape so if i where to use Ibrowse and i left the ident set to ibrowse the page could well choke

Just as a little aside from the idesk thing:

To get back to the original subject. It is painful for me to say it but no one here has mentioned the problems with Flash.

If you are looking for a dedicated web browsing machine it HAS to windows until a distro can handle flash properly. Having said that I know a couple of ppl who have managed to get IE working on Linux - Why? God alone knows...

I have Flash working perfectly in Mozilla here, it isnt a problem

Flash is easy peasy to setup. Download, extract, copy into plugins directory.

Man thats a hard install

Oh yeah.

Ooops

I've changed my mind. I looked at netscape flash and sorted it in record time.

I feel kinda silly now. I think I'll hang up my Tux wings and hide in a dark corner of windows...
