Dude - yea, that is smart... for one of my Amiga setups I'm using AROS, a FOSS reimplementation of AmigaOS 3.1 on top of Debian... 

While the AROS OS runs all our old Amiga software, I can also open up a literal GUI Firefox completely modern day browser - when needed. Really awesome.

I pirated it for testing, but I also paid for a license since its so good; I don't currently use it, but I have a copy when needed. :P

I try to support GOOD projects - FOSS doesn't need to be $FREE.

 ja> That was it! Just that delay. I'm using RG v1.35 right now (Exodus is the

Yep yep...
