As the topic title states, this is a very minor thing.

I was messing around with my Firefox settings, and thought I'd change the default anchor color since I really hate seeing pure blue anywhere on my screen (maybe a psychological connection to the Windows BSOD?).

After the change I noticed that some of the anchors on the damnsmalllinux.org index page retain the typical blue color, so I looked at the source. The links at the bottom of the page actually have the color blue specified. Do you suppose this is just a waste of bytes?

color=blue tags removed.

I wasn't really expecting you to bother changing it, but thanks. I just thought it was odd that the color blue would be specified for only a portion of the page when practically all browsers, if not all of them, use blue as the default anyway. And I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all if blue was forced throughout.

The "booting inside Windows" link is still forced blue. I wouldn't mention it, only now everything else on the page will use default browser colors, so it looks kinda funny =o)

I don't know who originally created the page, I assume John.
Anyway, hopefully, I got all the blue(s) out.

Yep. Now all links use whatever color your browser is set to use. Coincidentally, the color I chose for the default anchor color in Firefox fits quite well with the reddish text in the header image, as well as with the color scheme of userfriendly.org.
