Oh yes! this is marvellous! thank you, I just needed a modern web browser and a fix for the HTTPS issues (all the recent ones become unsupported)! I agree on the security front. If you have hygenic browsing habbits, appart from driveby, and phishing, you might be ok. I suppose a crond Clam routine scan may help. I do like Ubuntu, it works really well on the core duo 32bit iMac. But I shall try Lion with these fixes for a while. :-)
