	In the past I have used it with erm... some other OS which I
won't mention as I might need to pay royalty charges or something along
those lines <g>, and I was very surprised. There is one thing I
specially liked: you can specify the "zoom" in each window. The only
thing that puts me off downloading the trial version is the fact that
I'll need to install the KDE stuff (libqt at least), and I can't be
bothered.

	I have been using Mozilla M14 quite succesfully. It segfaults
quite a lot, but it just segfaults, it doesn't bring X down with it as
Netscrape does (it's really good: you play MP3s and X crashes, but MP3s
keep on playing :D).

	Apart from lynx and W3 of emacs fame, are there any stable
browsers available?

	Regards,
	José
