    Poll: Re: Do you use the Workspace Switcher?

    I played around with workspaces for a while, but never really liked the feel of it. I've since switched to multiple monitors and have found that much more productive for my needs.

  8. Poll: Re: What would you like better Iceweasel or Icewolf as the name to replace firefox.

    While I agree with you on 1) and 3), I'm forced to strongly disagree on 2). I would have to guess that, since you called them "cute", you've never had any interaction with weasles.

    Re: Best Video Codec?
