11/9    Firefox 1.0 in /csua/tmp
        \_ I really hope you are not running graphical web browsers from soda.
           \_ It's a .exe file.  Can't be for soda.
         \_ do you have any idea how slow http://mozilla.org is today?
         \_ When Soda is a dual Xeon we will all have graphical
            webbrowsers!
            \_ Actually, hey... why don't they include a jpg->ASCII
               conversion library in lynx?  That would be awesome.
        \_ Anyone know how do I set cache directory in firefox? It can
           be done for Mozilla. I don't see an option in Firefox...
           \_ have you tried googling for
                set cache directory in firefox
              ? the answer seems to be in the first link.
        \_ I'm running 0.9.3 and I've set it to periodically check for updates.
           So far I haven't seen any notification.  How often does it check for
           updates?
           \_ Do a force-check: options->advanced->software updates->check now
              \_ Yeah I can do that, but I was just wondering if the periodic
                 check feature is broken.
        \_ I'm a current-version Mozilla user.  What would I gain/lose by
           switching to firefox?  How much lighter in CPU/memory is it?  I
           find I typically use ~80MB having 10 or so tabs open.
        \_ Yeah, I can finally dump my NS 7.1.
        \_ Should I wait a month or two for all the major problems to pop up
           before I switch to it?
           \_ Nah, I have been using the beat for weeks with no problems.
              \_ I thought it was just released today.  Or is the 1.0 PR the
                 same as 1.0?
           \_ You should wait a couple days if you're using certain extensions
              like adblock that haven't had new versions released for this.
        \_ Is there a version for Slolaris yet?

5/18    On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
        proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
        http://tv.yahoo.com and so on.  It has been working fine for a long while.
        However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
        several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
        minutes.  I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine.  Rebooting

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

4/19    My Firefox 3.6.28 pops up a Software Update box that reads "Your
        version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks."  Are
        they planning to turn off some security feature in my version of
        Firefox?
        \_ Not as such, no, but they're no longer developing this version,
           so if a 3.6.x-targeted hack shows up, you're not going to get

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:
