I just did some looking around and while I remember reading something that made me think konqueror was another mozilla compatible, I can't seam to find it now so I must have been wrong. > Of course, Konqueror compatibility (at least the version in FC1) is > probably a bit less than that of Mozilla. It's getting better. Now that, my past experience with Konqueror agrees with <grin>. Some time ago when I was spending most of my free time playing with Mandrake 8.2 I tried to make konqueror my primary web browser. I remember liking it until I found too many web pages that wouldn't work with it including my banks. I'm glad to hear it's improving. And even gladder to realize that it's definitely using a different rendering engine, and thus might be worth trying when Mozilla fails. > Other than that, you have Opera as another reply mentioned, <Please see my reply to Daniel's message.> > and you can run at least some versions of Internet Explorer under WINE. Cold day in Hel^Hck when I'll trust IE itself (even under Wine) to have ANY access to my computer AND the internet at the same time. I might want access to web pages that are designed for IE, but I'd sooner trust a pirate copy of a cracked outdated program written for a commodore 64 and ported to an apple plus in some third world country, then ported to *nix by a known felon, than I would to trust any of MS's stuff. In the rare cases when I actually need to do something with windows software, I disable my cable modem during the whole time any of it is running. > There's also Netscape 4.something, which might still run if you can > find it (and you have a masochistic streak).

If I'm feeling THAT masochistic I'd try to get there with lynx...<grin> I thank you for the informative reply and especially the details on Konqueror. -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
