If you have the latest RC of DSL, then the Firefox that comes with it is the best one to use with DSL.
no need to download and install anything else.

xmikeox,

LimeWire is already built and ready to go waiting for you in the DSL Repository.

Spend some time looking thru the forums, searching for things you need/want, and  have a good time learning.
