Hi,
I have installed no package as of yet, but 29 answers my question smiles.
Thanks for the other answer too.

what browsers come included in the latest debian distribution package?
If you've installed the "debtags" package ("apt-get install debtags"), you
can use
debtags search --short "web::browser && use::browsing"
to list all the packages that provide web-browsing software. On my Debian
Stable, that brings up 29 packages. There are a couple in that list that
aren't really browsers, but that's the fastest way I know to get a pretty
thorough list.
The other question is if anyone can point me to something of an article
nature regarding open-source browsers and security?
I am finding that companies will know simply block access to anything but
ie
or if you are lucky firefox, with the claim that the browsers suggested
for Ada / section 508 / w3c type access are a security risk.
Most of the articles I know about compare the big-name browsers (IE,
Chrome/Chromium, Safari/Webkit browsers, and Mozilla derivatives including
Firefox, Iceweasel, Iceape, Galeon, etc). I don't think I've seen any reviews
of security on the more obscure (whether GUI or console) browsers. However
because of their rarity, there's a bit of security-by-obscurity since they're
such tiny attack targets.
