Re: [OT] Goodbye Debian

/Note-to-self_3A00_-Firefox-Windows-Authentication.aspx Opera 9.0 (for Windows) and up is supposed to have basic support for NTLM. The 9.5 betas may have improved support and there are proxies that you can run on your local machine that will do NTLM auth. PortableApps.com may help for some things.
