I’m running Fedora 7 on my old laptop.  Take a look at Yahoo’s message to me after signing out of Flickr and clicking the “Return to Yahoo” link:

Windows, Mac, and — what, no Linux?  You’ve got to be kidding!  Firefox is only supported for Windows and Mac?  Why on earth would my operating system matter, as long as it’s the same browser?

Well, Yahoo, I recommend that you stop censoring content based on my operating system.  It’s bad enough that you’re doing it based on browser.  And this from the developers of the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) that supposedly has wide browser support!  I suppose I should at least thank them for providing the link to continue “living on the edge” and not completely banning me from the site.

That’s right — it’s PortableFirefox! This would be handy if you’re ever using a firefox-less computer that you don’t own/can’t install software on. Nice. I know there are some Linux distributions that can run from a USB drive … I wonder what other apps there are out there for portable media?
