[…] Season Two Episode 4 "Hidden Danger" out now! http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2009/05/13/s02e04-hidden-danger/ […]
Re: Asus Eee PC 901 with Linux, I bought one a few weeks ago, complete with Xandros Linux, although it was hard to find. But I am very happy with it and can run Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 from a flash drive. I would not want to get one with Windows XP, it is a shame that Asus sells them with XP, as XP is pretty rubbish compared to Linux.
Re: Firefox add-ons. MacAfee Site Advisor is great. It used to work fine in Firefox 2, but then not when upgrading to Firefox 3. Until I discovered Swiftfox. I installed this clone of Firefox, which claims to be the same as Firefox but running faster. When I ran Swiftfox, the MacAfee Site Advisor worked in this. I then closed Swiftfox, and opened Firefox 3, which then had Site Advisor enabled and worked just fine.
