Knoppix comes to mind (and it's handy to have a copy of that anyway for performing surgery on Windows) but any of them that run Konqueror will allow you to test how your pages render in a KHTML-based browser.

RE: [WSG] swift - only windows browser with a webkit?
That would appear to be a completely different beast, despite the similarity of name. When I tried the Safari-based Swift a month or so ago, I was able to install it okay, but there seemed to be no way to configure a proxy, which made it completely useless.

[WSG] swift - only windows browser with a webkit?
Hi, I got this idea from the 'Wow, if only everyone did this' conversation. Swift seems to be the only Windows browser with a webkit, making it an idea to test websites for mac-compatibility if you don't have a mac. But any link I found so far to download this new, open source web browser leeds to www.getswift.org which refuses the connection. Does anyone know where to get swift?
