^ what they said. Choice is good, everyone has their own preference, the initial browser choice prompts are good and quickpet works well too. The lightest, most functional browser stock with user choice gets my vote too. Never liked dillo, but that's just my own personal opinion from limited experie...

Agreed, but if one is spending less than twenty quid on a computer... usb sound can be had for less than a fiver and is bound to be pretty generic at that price. Even some supposedly pro usb audio gear doesn't require drivers in windoze.

That'll teach me to click reply without reading all the preceding posts... one assumed usb sound was as generic and common as mouse, keyboard and web cam support in most distro's these days.

Not familiar with xfce nor saluki so may be wrong. What I meant was that if you right click the screwtape folder options should appear one of which is 'set icon'. Click on that and a dialogue should appear with instructions to drag and drop an icon to that dialogue to associate your chosen icon with...

Right click folder, select set icon and drag the devil in. May also need to go to menu, desktop, desktop template, save custom and select custom for persistence.
