Re: Firefox and iceweasel for Linux PPC
This is great news. Ubuntu 12-x1000 has a bit buggy Firefox. Midori is lightweight and usable, but not so expandable as FF.
Iceweasel, Seamonkey and others are not avail from Software Center or repositories.
Now, we just need a good kernel + Ubuntu 16 ram init for install.
Note: seems that all newer PPC distros have changed install method from initrd files to their own boots
(that simply don`t work on X1000) rendering old and nice Debian_Linux_Installation_Rev2.5.1.6_X-1000.pdf guide unsable.
Hope to see some nicer fruits of your labor in form of a baseline DVD with Mate, CInamon, new FF ... and updated Ubuntu

Re: Firefox and iceweasel for Linux PPC
It turns out an old version of FF on OpenSuze 64 bit works much better than whatever runs on the various 32 bit Ubuntu-based installations. I don't know if it is the difference in 64/32 bit just that it works as I remember from other platforms.
