Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Expanding linux partitions

Sorry that it did not go smoothly, but glad that you are back up and
running. Mint 10 is good. I installed it on my wife's machine. She is a
Windows user, but is managing well enough in linux with Windows also in a
VM.

For FF bookmarks you can use XMarks, but it went down for a time. It could
not afford to keep running, but has an investor or buyer. It and is back but
I would not rely on it because it is due to change. Use Dropbox to sync the
bookmarks file or FF now has its own sync service.
