I almost never have a problem with viewing anything. And it might have just
been a temporary glitch in my Internet connection (which is aDSL).

Actually this LInux box is far better than the Dell laptop I'd been using
and I'm only into it $200! Like all Windows computers, the Dell just got
slower and slower over time; we call it "Windows Senility" and it's been a
feature of that OS for as long as I can remember. The only fix is to wipe
the HD and just reload the OS but the Dell isn't very Linux friendly with
all those proprietary devices (on-board video - no drivers; on-board WiFi -
no drivers; etc.)

The Linux I'm running is Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm avoiding any upgrades because
I'm pretty sure I won't like Ubuntu 11 so I just do updates and at some
point I'll move to another distribution of Linux. No printing problems
here... just sends it out and the printer (a color laser) does its work.

I'll try that link again and see how it does.
