   That's perfectly reasonable in my book. I don't believe in   
   specifying exact fonts, sizes, etc. via CSS. Use  in plain   
   HTML if you want small text and the user can configure their   
   browser to display it in the way that works for them. Except where   
   some browser makers choose silly default behaviours for some   
   elements, plain HTML (4.0 Transitional) works to the user's best   
   advantage. I do most of my browsing with CSS turned off so all that   
   styling nonsense is ignored.   
      
   This is all nothing to do with Linux though.
