YIKES!! (and WOOHO for Mandrake!)

A bug was found in the Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox browsers which could let a malicious web page run code on your system! (This makes one for Firefox, and like 20 for Internet Explorer, so I'm not switching back any time soon...). Unlike Internet Explorer, a fix for this problem is already out. Read about the same-day-fix here. Either you can download the new version, 0.9.2 or install this extension (just click and it should auto-install). It is important to keep in mind that Firefox is still a Technology Preview, and not considered a finished product by the Mozilla people. For this reason it is important to update it occasionally. (For the most part, it seems pretty damn polished to me though!).

In much cooler news, Mandrake Linux is making a big SPLASH in France where they are helping to replace a whole lot of Windows NT systems with Linux ones!
