I'm in the process of switching from KDE to Fluxbox because frankly, KDE crashes on me way too much, and it really reminds me of Winblows. Anyway, I've got fluxbox up. I don't really want to use Mozilla-Thunderbird anymore, or Firefox for that matter, cause those both are a bit weird on me too.
Here are my questions:
1. Can Pine get POP3 mail? If so, where do you enter the info?
If you have a POP3 mail server, it almost certainly has pine installed, so just telnet to the server, and type "pine". But why would you want to do this, unless you really hanker after the good old green-screen days? The command line is a wonderful tool, but what's wrong with graphical e-mail clients? If you don't like KDE or Mozilla, you might enjoy Sylpheed.
2. Is there a battery monitor for fluxbox?
3. Is there a simple, very stable, browser I can use?
Tons. If you want the ultimate in simplicity, stability and speed, then go for Lynx (but of course there are no graphics there). If you want to be really hardcore, Xemacs has browsing capacity, though I strongly advise going down the emacs road - you may need a twelve-step program and interventions from your friends to get you off it. I hear there are clinics for recovering emacs users, but they usually use vi to help them cope with emacs withdrawal, and that can have terrible side-effects ;-)
If you want something more like a conventional browser, Opera is OK, but I still can't see what you don't like about Mozilla/Firefox or Konqueror.
