*sigh* Who let this troll onto the list? Its not even subtle.
let me see... browsing the web with Linux...
First, we have netscape 4.7, netscape 6 (for the insane), mozilla,
arena, konquerer, gnome-help and opera for the GUI inclined....
Then we also have Links, Lynx and w3 (w3 also works pseudo-gui-like
for the insane) for the text-mode people.
[of course, I have missed some]
What do I use? lynx, links and netscape 4.7
My personal opinion is if it can't be viewed in a recent Netscape 4.x,
then they're obviously doing something wrong.
And no, you can't use the "but shockwave/flash doesn't work under
NS4.x under linux" argument, because there is a plug-in availible.
Now don't you dare tell me that browsing is hard.
