Thanks for that Marc, I'm not sure I'll get there yet since the pressing 
problem is to have browsers etc. working on a comparatively familiar 
platform, so /if/ the latest Debian looks OK I might stick there for a 
while.

For Solaris users, I notice that sunfreeware.com now requires a 
subscription for the vast majority of downloads. Obviously there's 
mirrors for older files.
