Aye. Konqueror is off to a great start IMHO however I absolutely abhor the
look and feel of the KDE interface. A silly reason not to use Konqueror but
reason enough for me. Galeon can't print yet but it's very stable and does
everything I need it to do. As far as e-mail I do miss my MS Outlook 2000.
Damn that program packs some power. I think Evolution shows promise.
Currently I use k-mail out of laziness because I dont' feel like converting
my filters. We shall see what this year brings. I think Linux is about a
year away from making itself a big player in the desktop arena. There is a
great foundation it just needs some polish.
