On ArcaOS (Warp 5.0.4)...Firefox 38 is available...with 45 accessible. You
can also get Thunderbird & SeaMonkey as well. They are available over on
Github. Just do a search.

Before getting ArcaOS...was running Linx & another with limited graphics on
Warp 4.52. Smoked like crazy with any website I ran on it. It's available on
Hobbes.

If you head over to the main ArcaOS website...they have a package for
Warp/Ecs uses with updated drivers & such available for I believe $49. On the
other hand...ArcaOS does use YUM/RPM for its upgrades & is only $129. Got it
myself & bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre Celeron for $50. Upgraded the HDD
to a 1 TB laptop drive & added an additional 8 GB of memory for a total of 12
GB to run ArcaOS. The 8 GB is being used for a RAM Drive...since it's PAE
aware.
