[Novalug] Anyone else for whom Arlington County Public Schools website DOESN'T work in linux? was: Arlington County Public Schools website: Windows only? (2nd attempt)

[Sean Spurrier]

Craig,

   I am on verizon FIOS ..same router and triple play pack (so phone,
internet and TV through verizon) and I am able to use Ubuntu 7.10 and Centos
5.1 on a x86_64 build to open the site using firefox and opera (latest
versions available via apt/yum main repos)
