Just an observation of mine, and it's all down to personal taste, but I find Firefox 1.5 on DSL-N is much better to use...I can't put it down to why as they both do the same thing on DSL/DSL-N...it's the look of it...I can't put my finger on it...I am impressed with DSL-N...I am liking it more and more ( because of Juanitos alsa mod.dsl !)

Firefox in DSL-N uses Gtk2
Firefox in DSL uses Gtk1.2
Firefox itself is developed specifically for Gtk2, and was (i think) modified to work in DSL, so it's possible that some things not only look different but may behave differently (or not at all, in one or two cases).

have been curious about dsl n [use dsl 3.4 now] and wondered if users find it stable; it seems the last version is listed as a release candidate

do most people find that it works well [no crashes, few bugs] or is there a 'distribution' release that i have missed

thanks
jj
