Very well - heaps of energy in Galeon development recently.

I never had it working with the nightlies I always used, so I didn't bother.
Just recently they released debs of Galeon (source line below) that worked
with the M18 that's currently in potato and woody.

 deb ftp://galeon.sourceforge.net/pub/galeon/nightly/debian galeoncvsm18/

So that's what I'm using now, and it's pretty cool. It doesn't do http
authentication, SSL or other things, but most of the time I don't need them.
I just fire up links-ssl at a terminal of I do. :)

(I have to admit, I still use Netscape a fair bit. I should just delete the
icon on my panel, but the X resources I use make it come up in *such* a
pretty purple...)

They're cool! Sure, there's a lot of features missing in them, like the
above mentioned ones, Java, etc., but as simple browsers they're groovy!

If you want the other features, hack 'em in. The developers will be very
happy to hear from you.
