Yep, choice is what Linux is supposed to be about. I don't feel comfortable limiting the options that a user may use in his system. If you like Konq only, then use only Konq. The same holds for Netscape. If you want to use more like myself then you have the luxury of using those two plus Mozz. And If your like me and have one of those CD's from the defunct Maximum Linux mag you can instal a whole bunch more browsers. It about choice and freedom - use or don't use what you want. To me that's the very thing that is most appealing about Linux. IMHO, Cheers. Curtis. On Friday 15 June 2001 10:38 am, Paul Abrahams wrote:

My suggestion: dump Netscape and upgrade your KDE-2.0.1 from the SuSE-7.1 disrto to KDE-2.1.2 from the SuSE ftp site. Konqueror from 2.1.2 is all you'll need for 95% of your browsing needs.
I've got to disagree vigorously with that one. I'm often finding sites that Netscape will handle correctly (ugly though Netscape may be) and Konqeror won't. If the 5% of sites that don't work with Konqueror include ones that you want, then Konqueror just doesn't hack it. A Linux purist might say "if Konq can't handle the site, I won't go there", but for most ordinary mortals that's not a very productive attitude.
My pragmatic compromise: install both, use Konq where it works and Netscape where it doesn't.
