Is there a way to find out which pieces of 8.04 are

me we need one.

I don't think there is one, how would one search? I suppose a 0.* match would
reveal less than released versions but then is the version number standard
that well observed? What is the difference between alpha numbers and beta
ones?

Firefox 3.x is a beta, but easily replaced with the
current 2.x stable release, via Synaptic.

I for one was happy to see Firefox 3 as in 7.10, Firefox 2.0.0.14 and previous
never would open most of the websites I frequent. I had to rely on
Konqueror. I did not feel any need to reinstall the 2.x series of Firefox on
my computer, ...and I have found no fault so far with Firefox 3.

People have reported problems with gnash. My
add/remove app says my 8.04 has an Alpha of
that, but . http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
says a beta came out in March. If I installed
gnash and id ugrades, would I get the beta? How
would I know that, short of "try it and see"?.

There must be a different than gnash tool to play swf as I don't have gnash
installed here.
