If I build a desktop icon to call up a specific URL Konqueror automatically opens up as the default browser. In KDE4 there is a system setting package which allows selection of default programmes which was handy. -- W.

Alternate method to make Firefox the default browser for local html files, in other words so that left click on any .html file opens in Firefox by default: [1] Right click on a local .html file to get context menu [2] Select "open with" (brings up a programs menu) [3] Expand Internet submenu and select Firefox [4] Check "Remember application association for this type of file" [5] Click OK. System update will take place. Now any local .html file will open in Firefox by left click. All file types can be configured to open on left click in a specific app by this method.

I've taken a look at the c720 (they say 1.25 kg) and Lenovo's x131e (1.8 kg!) and I must say I'm more and more surprized at the Chromebook trend. They are cheap ok. However, I just purchased a second hand Thinkad X200 for less than $250, it weights 1.4 kg and runs Debain perfectly (with TDE of course) on a 64 GB SSD. The X201 is just a little more expensive for Touchpad friends. I understand it is fun to see if these netbooks can run with Linux, but I doubt it is really usefull. Thierry

Hi, I'm glad you've been able to install a complete Linux on your Chromebook. It means that Linux support for it has improved in the last few months! I have 2 netbooks: The original first-generation Asus EEE 2G surf and the one I bought last summer: Asus EEE X101CH. At the time I looked to replace my underpowered first-gen EEE, I saw for sale an used Acer Chromebook, but I wasn't too interested by it because of the fact that while its a x86 machine, it is not IBM PC compatible (BIOS and friends). Sadly, I also need Windows for industrial Windows-only software, so this Chromebook was not interesting. I bought the Acer netbook (standard netbook) at Wal-Mart and I returned it 2 days later because I didn't liked the overall quality of the product, being used to Asus and big bros like IBM. Right after, I bought my new Asus EEE X101CH. It has a few issue with Linux, such as supporting only 2d graphics, and the Wifi is not as rock-solid (more than wired connection) as it was on my old EEE, but it is very powerful, at least for my needs. It also needed to run bleeding-edge distros like Ubuntu, because it didn't booted at all on PCLinuxOS, which as an older 3.2-series kernel. Overall, it is a great machine and I like its 3.5hrs+ battery life. It is sad that netbooks aren't made anymore (now a rare exception), because they were good small machines, at an affordable price and in a very useful size. -Alexandre
