Thanks Karsten for the interview, very useful, just some remarks: 1. Opera
Opera is in stable 5.0 now (as of yesterday, at least on the ftp server, you might want to give it a try, debs available, it is a very easy call to test) 2. Netscape It is in 4.77 now, and though not much changed, I downloaded it - after I had some weird problems with 4.75 on potato - and adjusted the fonts, etc. After a year pause in using Netscape, this was a surprise. It loaded within 10 sec on my PII/350/128M system - previously I had to wait sometimes 25-30 secs (!). Even konqi and opera needs 5-7 secs to load... It appears more stable (yes I run Java). Somewhere I saw a note on distro-included netscapes (Mandrake and Debian was listed), it was suggested to use netscape navigator standalone right from the Netscape. That is what I did. I do not know whethet this caused a change ot the higher version no., but it WORKS now. Yes the GUI sucks, but what do you do when you reallu HAVE TO look at a web page and galeon died on it, opera cannot render it, konqi ditto?! (yes there are WEB pages like that). You fall back to the good ol' netscape... At least I am. It allways worked for me as a last resort. 3. Konqi I always wanted to use it, because I use KDE as my desktop, it is nicely integrated, it is a pleasure to work with. But until KDE 2.1.1, there were simply too many WEB pages which cannot be rendere by Konqi. But now it rocks. 3. Sorry, I do not have opinion about Galeon I never tried it. So Nowadays I use Konqi > Opera > Netscape. Order of preference. On Mon, May 14, 2001 at 08:34:22PM -0700, Karsten M.
