I'm using firefox-bin ( and libreoffice-bin ) on my laptop and I didn't have problems with either of them |

Thank you all for replying. |

So it can be around 30~40 minutes or so on my i5 machine. |
| 25 |
Just it feels strange to install something large that I would probably |
| 26 |
never use myself. |

I am considering using binary package instead of compiling it myself. |

But I am afraid that using firefox-bin package would cause some |
| 31 |
dependency problem. I once tried libreoffice-bin, but found it really |
| 32 |
painful to resolve dependency issues during system upgrading. |
| 33 |

Anyone tried firefox-bin smoothly? |
