== School detention for using Firefox turns out to be a hoax ==

incidents of lack or technical savvy people or outright paranoia that 
have prevented the spread of good Free and open source software. Keep an 
eye for these. Incidentally Firefox is the default browser in Fedora and 
Firefox 3 [3] with much better Linux integration is about to be released 
in a short while
