It is a bit slow and bloated, but I use it on my *nix boxes and my iBook. Konqueror (and Safari) are faster, but, for me--a relative newbie like yourself, I have found it much easier to set up Netscrape with multi-media support than Konq. Galeon has a lot of groOvy features, but like Konq, it has stumped me when it comes to installing some plugins. Understand, now, that I am not one of the ubergeeks on the list. I've been using Red Hat for a tad less than a year and ask stupid questions all the time. I'm a language arts teacher. That said, using Netscrape, I now have all the multimedia support I need, etc. I can view flash (what a waste, except when surfing pollypocket.com with my daughter), watch local weather in realplayer, listen to streams with xmms, etc., etc. Only file formats that trouble me are those blasted MicroSlop ones (windass media files). So, from newbie to another, I recommend Netscrape. Slow and bloated, but with all the a/c, powerlocks, and stereo comforts of a luxury sedan. Oh yes, I'm talking about the latest Netscrape, 7.01, not 4.x, btw. tony http://www.School-Library.net Freedom to Learn! -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GED$/L/P/FA d? s: a C++ L++ W++ N++ K- w--- M+ PS++ PE-- Y+ PGP- t+ tv-- b++(b++++) D?
