Thanks for the tip, Brice. Re: Galeon. I do like it better than Mozilla, but they're both pretty lethargic on an iMac (rev.A) -- Navigator is much worse, often taking a minute or so to render a page! Moving over from KDE I found the comparative slowness in these apps to be the prominent distinguishing factor. I'm clueless as to why... but I'm just getting my sea legs with Linux.
