I've had it up and running for a couple days with no problems. I like it.

I did have to add the WMP Firefox plugin to watch my News vids.

Bookmark sync. doesn't work with 3 but I guess it's just around the corner.

A couple of months ago, I updated a several of my computers from Ubuntu Linux 7.10 to Ubuntu Linux 8.04. Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 comes with the new Ubuntu, so I have been using it for over two months.

Firefox 3.0 is definitely faster and is also lighter on resources, like memory. I really like it, too.

The only thing I don't like about it is a nit. When you download anything the download dialog no longer has a remove all button. You have to delete each entry by hand. Like I said, a minor thing.

I loaded up openSuse 11 Beta3 with KDE 4

It comes with Firefox 3 Beta 5. And yea, it's pretty quick!

I had to pick up a new 4 port KVM switch this weekend... :?
