Sorry guys, I was going more for sarcastic/funny. (I'm even composing
this from Windows, myself!) The point is: having a package replaced is
not a big deal, especially when there is a distro-neutral installer for
it. Womeone who has been using Linux for 8 years should not take what I
said seriously.
However, I'll apologize because I didn't mean for it to be an "F U" post.
Piotr Dziubinski, I'm sorry. I don't think you should give up on Debian
just because Firefox got renamed to Iceweasel: you can still do all the
same stuff with it. And if you want, you can download Mozilla's Firefox
from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
