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!

Hey, welcome to Linux: Where options abound!
