Hi Seth,

pete@pete-desktop:~$ firefox
firefox firefox-3.5
pete@pete-desktop:~$ firefox
firefox firefox-3.5
pete@pete-desktop:~$ firefox
firefox firefox-3.5
pete@pete-desktop:~$ firefox
The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
bash: firefox: command not found
pete@pete-desktop:~$ which firefox
pete@pete-desktop:~$ which firefox
firefox/ firefox-3.5
pete@pete-desktop:~$ which firefox

I don't see any path. If I type firefox-3.5 it asks if I want to see all
222 possibilities and when I answer y to that I am shown everything I
ever viewed in the browser or everything in my home folder, not sure which.
