  Actually Konqueror, isn't the "default" web browser for Linux - as much as 
I would like it to be. Many Linux users use either Netscape 4.x or Mozilla 
(and the hard core ones use Lynx). With RedHat's official blessing on the 
GNOME environment, KDE-dependant Konqueror will/has not become the standard 
quite yet. I personally use it for about 99% of my web browsing though (with 
.5% going to Netscape 4 when Konqi can't load a page, and .5% going to MSIE 
5.5 when I happen to be using W2k or WinME).

  Same with KDE... KDE is the most popular, but there isn't a "default" 
window manager (or more precisely a desktop environment), since Linux really 
doesn't even have a GUI by itself. :-) 
  KDE could be called the "defacto standard" at least, if RedHat would ever 
see the light and support KDE as their default just like SuSE, Caldera, 
Mandrake, Corel, et. al. do.
