Kfm can be used as web browser. There are possibly some other rinkydink ones out
there, but as far as resource hungry goes, I could have sworn that Microsoft's Outlook
consumed alot more resources than Netscape. Granted Microsoft Outlook IE 5.0 may be
somewhat better Than Netscape, nothing hogs memory like Micro$haft legacy software.
I'm not too sure about fax software, But I think KDE has an application for this also.
Try visiting linux.tucows.com and search teir software archive for some. I'll bet you
will find more apps than you can shake a stick at.
This may solve your last question also. There are a ton of apps for Linux. Just start
searching the web. You can find educational software for Chemists, mathematicians,
biologists, astronmers, etc... I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding software you
need. It is a Micro$haft publicty lie that there are no Linux apps out there. I could
find thousands in just one day of searching the web. Plus, they are all FREE.
Good Luck,
SA
