I really like Firefox and family(Swiftweasel / Iceweasel), for both: work and home, because they are key tools(I'm Drupal developer & themer) but they stress me sometimes because can consume all my resources in conjunction with my local webserver: Apache, MySQL and PostgreSQL, so I use a lighweight alternative: Iceape(Debian version of Seamonkey).

Yes I'm still alive and working on SLPOR 2008, reason for
troubles editing the banner design donated by Proyect-One which was in AI.
I've tried several programs, including SK1 but got into troubles, here
howto install in debian sid:
$ sudo apt-get install tk8.5 tcl8.5 python-liblcms zenity python2.4
$ sed "s/python /python2.4/ " /usr/bin/sk1 > /tmp/sk1 && sudo mv /tmp/sk1 /usr/bin
$ rm -rf /tmp/sk1 && sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/sk1

It is sad to me that my old compaq nx9030 has been sold :( but thanks to God now I have a new Toshiba a205-s5804. This baby is running with Debian sid amd64 kernel because his Dual Core T2330 processor supports EMT64.

Seems powerful right?, well, my wife used the old laptop until has been sold, and now we got "fighting" to use the new toshiba... then, in order to preserve my marriage and aid the hearth by saving energy cost, we decided to use it at the same time, how?

I'm consternated with my Debian sid, I can't capture my screen with xvidcap or istanbul anymore, marvil told me that they work in Ubuntu, why not in Debian?

It was a pain the ass to research for a good an usable solution for me, because I have an old laptop CPU(Centrino 1.8Ghz), but 2 weeks later, here is the best solution I found at the moment. Sox is a "Swiss army knife of sound processing" with sound recording capabilities and ffmpeg is a "multimedia player, server and encoder" with screen capture capabilities.

One month ago I was experiencing memory leaks with Firefox.
I did a fast check with "top" command and seen that when Firefox was running it started to overcharge Xorg, making it to use more and more CPU and Memory resources, near 95%!!!!!!!!
So I've decided to use Opera. That was a nice experience to use that super-fast browser. The problem is that Firefox is a key tool for my working day (I'm web developer).
Today I've launched Opera from the command line, and noticed this warning:
"opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported"

Oh! my Goodness, finally I found that package.

I was not able to turn off my laptop because acpi events handler was "miss-functional" since 3 months ago. Why?

Because the package was split in two: acpi and acpi-tools, and when I've updated my Debian sid, it does not cares about the new package. Solution:

# apt-get install acpi-tools

I've you were victim of this error, please submit a comment with your impressions.

Blessings!
