Ubuntu and proxy servers

[shadowscotland]

Well at work and the two shiney new Pc's are all up and running (one being mine )
So what a guy to do but install smp - well that is if someone can tell me how to get firefox running via a proxy server?

Are the setting in more that the one place?
Edit>preferances>networking>settings.

How long is the instillation? it's at 70% and it's been well over 40minutes - no one told me about the install desktop icon or what happens if knome crashes durring startup

Pesky OS

the home instalation hung at 82% for 15min's so gave up and when to bed But morgan had other ideas

I'll just wait for the 'other' multi-core client to go live as me and linux don't get on it seams
