I just did a minimal business card install of Debian sid, 32 bit.

Installed smxi and set up xorg and KDE.

I am at the point of adding in all the little extras which make smxi so nice a tool to use.

Question about Swiftfox options, I have a Core2Duo processor and I don't know which choice applies or if no choice applies.

Choices are swiftfox-i686, swiftfox-athlon64-32bit, and swiftfox-prescott. Which one is best for an Intel Core2 Duo T9400 running 32 bit OS?

Thanks for your help.

Blessings

For you prescott.

thanks

I was going to guess that one, hey, it's a 50-50 chance if you drop the AMD choice.

I should really remove that swiftfox option, I don't like it, the guy doesn't maintain it consistently, and the idea is really something that is not of much value.

Personally I always use the real firefox replacement method, which I would script but I'm too lazy.

It's much better running firefox native non debian than it is running iceweasel or swiftfox, after I switched my firefox issues more or less vanished. Plus I actually am running the real current bug fixed firefox, not whatever version the maintainer happened to get to this month.

Is that your post which starts with

"The problem with Iceweasel and why I am now using Firefox" ?

In the Applications and Projects section.

yes.

I was avoiding creating an easy to use firefox downloader/installer, but it might be worth it, swiftfox is given an apparent vote of confidence by the presence of the swiftfox installer, which, amusingly given how things turned out, etorix himself actually asked for, and received. yes, the sidux etorix, but swiftfox is a project about as unstable and unreliable as sidux has proven to be.

Funny how geeks like to change their realities to suite the winds of the day, isn't it?
