Thanks Andi,

I'm wondering why only I have mentioned this.  Not sure if all other
guys attempting to use the mini-pcs as desktops are definitely using
anheng repos, or they don't use gmail accounts neither bank accounts,
or they use some other light browser (midori is not an alternative for
me, it crashes too often on different sites), or iceweasel in stable
works, and people mostly use stable...

Any ways, thanks,
