This was my point exactly.  Linux powers the Internet but it can't browse it. 
 I've found that StarOffice does a great job as far as word processing and 
spreadsheets are concerned.  I suppose if you're a stickler about licensing 
details then it wouldn't work but it's a step in the right direction.  Hell 
even WordPerfect runs well on my Linux box.  Mozilla is getting more stable 
and Galeon makes a nice front end but it's not enough.  I'd like to be able 
to click on an e-mail link and have it open the mail client of my choice 
without crashing the browser or be able to print a web page without a 
segfault.  I'm sure this browser will surface eventually but newbies need 
those comforts.  There has to be some way to put "training wheels" on Linux 
wouldn't you say?
