Also worth noting that if Xandros is debian-based, installing a VERY featureful and modern browser with any reasonable network connection should be as simple as "apt-get install mozilla" (gotta love debian!) Moz has become my browser of choice, and I note that security experts are now widely recommending "any other browser" besides MSIE lately. Debian (any any apt-driven derivative) also provides the same easy installation for a number of other browsers which are lightweight mozilla/netscape offspring (galeon, encompass, firebird, firefox) each of which has strenghts and weaknesses (and size differences.) Day, doesn't Xandros' KDE also ship with the Konqueror browser? While it's not my favorite, it's a fairly competent browser and definitely better than an antique Netscape 4.7!
