Don't worry about using the term "browse". Microsoft didn't invent it. I
remember using that word back in the early '80s on mainframe UNIX.
If you've got KDE installed, check to see if you have kpackage as well. If not,
get it. I find it much, much easier to use than glint. You can drag-and-drop
(it's not a MS term) an RPM onto it and it displays info, file lists, etc.
Plus, it supports DEB packages as well (but don't install them onto RH!).
