I don't recommend this, the Ubuntu build embeds a lot of libs, see[1] [1]http://www.iuculano.it/en/linux/chromium-pronto-per-unstable/ Cheers, Giuseppe.

You must be rather upset then, that upstream Firefox 3.6 released January 21, 2010, yet Iceweasel in sid is 3.5.9. We're FOUR MONTHS out of date with Iceweasel! :) -- . O . O . O . . O O . . .

I used Etch on my desktop and Laptop for quite a while with little to no loss of functionality. I don't really understand why you think you need the latest release. I want well-tested software so I can use it instead of fix it or wait until it gets fixed. I also want stable software so I'm not having to relearn a UI every week or so. Now, I currently run a mixed system on both my desktop and laptop. It includes packages from Lenny, testing, and Sid. I originally did this to be able to use KDE SC 4.2. I am hoping that I can switch back to using stable Debian for both the desktop and laptop once Squeeze is released. I also use Debian on a number of servers. I enable a mixed system there as well, but I have yet to need to pull any packages from testing or Sid. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ |
