Galeon works fine in KDE, from my experience. I like it because it has both a multiple document interface (like Opera) _and_ a single document interface (multiple windows, like most other browsers). You can have several tabs open in each window, and you can save the tabbed/windowed sessions to files for later retrieval. Another great thing is that it uses Mozilla's Gecko for rendering, which IMHO is the fastest and most accurate HTML rendering engine on the planet. It is very configurable, and the most frequently-used controls are within easy reach from the menus (unlike the other browsers). It also uses the XBEL bookmarking format, just like Konqueror. I'm a bit of a browser-junkie. I have found that I like to browse different kinds of sites in different ways, so I end up frequently switching between Galeon (with its good combination of MDI and SDI), Opera (good MDI; different from Galeon), Konqueror (I like to use several frames in one window), Netscape 4 (only to do my banking), and Links (an excellent text-only browser with tables and mouse support). Fortunately, I have 256MB of RAM, so I can have them all open at once :) Desktop-wise, I am a GNOME user (another area where 256MB of RAM really helps :). I initially migrated to GNU/Linux from Windos. I was using Caldera OpenLinux 2.2, which had only KDE1. After a little while, I switched to Red Hat 6.0, with its GNOME 1.0 interface. I have stayed with GNOME ever since, because KDE (especially KDE1) is too much like Windows for my liking (Konq is great, though :). I always found the Windows interface to be limiting, and I used to have several third-party utilities on my Win desktop to improve its functionality. GNOME gave me a very configurable interface, negating the need for add-ons. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, President, Chairman and Founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
