Konqueror is out of beta, KDE2 was released about 2-3 weeks ago. Konqueror is 
still not 100% finished, but it's usable. I use it more than Netscape. Its 
main weakness is the JavaScript support, which is either buggy or 
incompatible with other browsers (I haven't investigated which). It's also 
not entirely stable, but more stable than Netscape. I read it has pretty good 
style sheet support. And it renders fast.

Java is handled through a plug-in (same way Mozilla does it, apparently). 
Both Sun and IBM have released JDK 1.3.0 for Linux. JavaScript is supported, 
but not free of problems. MIDI can be handled through a Netscape plug-in 
(Konqueror can use them, so Shockwave Flash is also possible).
