Check out Mozilla. It's of course a project started and funded by Netscape, but their browser is a *major* rewrite since netscape 4.7. Mozilla is also very usable these days, and bugs gets fixed each day. I would recommend that you download one of the nightly snapshots and try it out. http://www.mozilla.org -- // André

Another graphical linux client, if you're so inclined, is something called Pronto. http://www.muhri.net/pronto I haven't tried it at all, but it looks rather interesting, if you're into graphical clients. 2. Are there any graphics based web browsers available for Linux other than Netscape? If yes, are there release versions of these browsers? In short, no. There are lots of projects in the works, but none that are ready for prime time yet that I know of. If you're really into using graphical clients, you might consider using VMware. That's a virtual machine that lets you switch back and forth between simultaneous sessions of different OSes, such as Windows and Linux. You need some recent hardware to run it on; its demands are significant. The real answer to your question, I think, is to consider looking into the non-graphical equivalents. Once you understand how the internet protocols work, text is really the native language you want to be dealing with. -- David S.

Re: [Re: editors and browsers]
I am using Mozilla and I am very dissappointed with it. It is quite unstable and the interface looks extremely boring. It is less usable than Netscape 4.7. I wish there were a browser that is for Linux what Microsoft Internet Explorer is for windows only without the proprietory extensions.

Thomas Kirsch wrote: 1. Are there any WYSIWYG email editors available for Linux? Preferentially any that would run also on Windows? I really don't know quite what you mean by a WYSIWYG email editor. I know of two email clients that exist for both Linux and Windoze - they are Netscape and pine. There might be others, but I don't know of them. Of course, there's also the possibility of trying to run a Windoze client under something like Wine. There's a fellow on another list I'm on that uses the Juno client under Wine. 2. Are there any graphics based web browsers available for Linux other than Netscape? Yes. Ones I've used are Mozilla (Netscape 6 is based on this), Opera (not very usable yet), gzilla (very basic). There are at least a few others, but I'm not very familiar with them. If yes, are there release versions of these browsers? Again, I really don't know what you mean by this. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | He that is slow to believe anything and | everything is of great understanding, '91 GS500E| for belief in one false principle is the Morgantown WV | beginning of all unwisdom.

WYSIWYG doesn't apply to email, in which you've no control over recipient client interpretation of client. Netscape and Mozilla are compatible with both Linux and legacy MS Windows. Several mailers use standard mailbox formats allowing sharing of files. A better general approach is to set up an IMAP server and access this from various systems. Divorce your client from your server and storage. 2. Are there any graphics based web browsers available for Linux other than Netscape? If yes, are there release versions of these browsers? This is a FAQ answered several times a week here and on Usenet. Search Google or Deja for general lists, or Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net/) for sets of clients. Netscape is probably the most commonly used browser, though it's a PITA. I've also posted tips on improving your Netscape experience through various config options. -- Karsten M.
