a modified version of Konqueror.
The problem with IE is its getting old and has some really nasty CSS problems. Ive deployed
Mozilla 1.4.1 and Konqueror (in KDE 3.1.1) and I have yet to see a web service thats not working.Even the banking works fine for a change and some of the ABC web pages that used to look horrible are now fine. (don't post examples because I then would have to post web pages that IE cant open or look crap in IE)
The company Im working for is doing some work for a large global finance company (over 14,000 staff).I was talking to one of the tech people and he was saying anyone who deploys a "windows" only network is an total idiot. He went on to say you will get one nasty virus and it will wipe your whole system out.This company now has a policy of "never" letting two network layers run the same service or OS. Their desktops are windows the servers are Linux the routers are cisco, and cisco just tried to get the voice services and the company said nope we want a separate company for voice we dont want a security problem in our routers to spread to our digital voice services and we end up with both our voice and data services wiped out.
Also there is another reason for this policy the company doesnt want to get locked into a Robber baron relationship with its suppliers (see Microsoft).

My wife does some teaching out at USW. They have receintly told her that they will no longer be issueing paper pay slips. They will be online and she will be "required" to use IE5 to read them. She has told them that she uses Linux and is waiting for them to get back to her.
