Don't waste your time with Netscape 6.anything, just use the latest Mozilla -- at this time, 0.9.6 or 0.9.5. Netscape is based on Mozilla anyway, and is always a couple of point releases behind, plus it has a bunch of extra AOL junk added that you probably don't need anyway. If you can't use Mozilla, try Galeon. It uses the Mozilla rendering engine (Gecko), and so requires Mozilla to be installed, but it has a lighter interface, and uses much less memory -- it also renders pages faster than Mozilla. It is my browser of choice. If Galeon won't work, try Opera. The 5.05 Technology Preview for Linux works great. I think Mozilla/Galeon renders fonts better, but otherwise Opera is just as good. It is free but has a somewhat annoying banner ad, which you can get rid of by purchasing Opera. You already know about Konqueror. I don't really like it, but others swear by it, so I suppose it is just a matter of preference. Dave -- You may worry about your hair-do today, but tomorrow much peanut butter will be sold.
