While I wouldn't put it past M$, I think Netscape is just beyond salvage. It's bloated and bug-ridden. > > Regardless, any suggestions for a new browser / mail client?

For mail, there are lots of things. Eudora is very popular, as is pegasus. One benefit of Eudora is it has plugins available for PGP, if you care about that. For Web browsing, there aren't a whole lot of options, but there is Opera... I'm curious about what applications are keeping you from using Linux on your desktop. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
