I am also insearch of an efficient web browser, and I am considering the

I'm trying to set up a Debian system here on my office network. However,
I don't know exactly how to go about it, because the setup is not the

Pere,
I got an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV 8MEG (Mach64/3D RageII+) card for
about $210. It is quite awesome, and lightning fast. It supports my
21" monitor quite nicely, and is well-supported under Windows as well.
The TV output doesn't work under Linux, but that's not what I got it
for anyway :-)

If you thought Unix's handling of the date, being seconds since
Jan 1, 1970, in a 32 bit value, was weird, I quote your from the Win32
