I can understand that, however I have no problem with commercial apps. I like the fact that I have a *choice*. My system runs a range of apps from GNU to commercial. I use Linux because I like it and it is good.

I don't see why a commercial app can't be *the* best app - the commercial model is just one way of producing and distributing software, it surely has little bearing on how good the app is. > As already mentioned, try to get Yourself Mozilla and use one of those > lighter browsers (galeon, skipstone) on top of it, or use lynx for > fastest information retrieval in worldwide web....
