  1. partial list of browsers for you to try by chongo · · Score: 1 · on Linux: Browser Wars
    Which browser is right for you? You can answer that by trying them yourself:

    The article did not review a number of browsers. Here are a some more that you may want to try:

    And how the disclaimers: The list above by no means complete. The browers above were listed in j-random order. Some browsers are in early alpha stage, some in Beta and others are in full release. Some of the browsers may suck, some are OK and some are good. Your mileage may vary. Sorry If I left out your favorite browser. IE was left off the list for obvious reasons. Good while supply lasts or until Bill Gates takes over. I'm not a member of the FCIA. Void where cast as (void).

  2. Re:Other browsers that work with linux by msphil · · Score: 2 · on A Linux 'Browser War' in the Making?

    gzilla is now known as Armadillo, due, in part, to confusion with Mozilla.

    gzilla? I think it's gonna be the ultimate browser!

    LONG LIVE ALPHA!!!

  4. There's also "Armadillo" (formerly gzilla) by Booker · · Score: 3 · on A Linux 'Browser War' in the Making?
    Not to fan the widget wars or anything.... :)

    There's another one out there - haven't played with it for a while, but I don't see it get much press, either. It's Armadillo - a GTK+ based browser written in C.

  5. Mnemonic is dead! Try Armadillo by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Communicator Is Losing The War.....

    They released an alpha version 2 years ago, and don't seem to be working hard on it. Try Armadillo.

  6. Thinking about our consumption by innerFire · · Score: 1 · on High Tech Junk

    Just this weekend I ran into the problem of computer waste. I was at Best Buy considering a new 128MB PC100 DIMM to replace my 64MB, non-PC100 one. But then I got to thinking, shouldn't I ditch Netscape and thereby free up system memory, rather than just buy more? Isn't upgrading hardware the stupid, bloatware/Microsoft way? Do I really need this memory?

    Then I considered the sweatshop laborers who make $~1/MB DIMMs possible. (I fear the fantastic memory price drops have more to do with decreasing standards of living for the laborers than with some miraculous advance in manufacturing technology. But I could be wrong.) And the toxins that go into making ICs. And the lax environmental regulations in Malaysia, China, and other tech-exporting countries. You get the idea.

    So I left Best Buy with all my money and no new chips. Instead, I'll speed up my Linux system by erasing Netscape and working on Gzilla to replace it. I'm happier having less junk.

  7. Re:Benefactor, symbiote and parasite by innerFire · · Score: 1 · on Interview: Bruce Perens Answers Open Source License Questions

    First, thank you Bruce and Neuroid for your helpful answers.

    But I must take issue with this:

    They take value from the community

    How can you take value from a community like ours? Everyone fully owns their copy of a free program, and copies cost near-zero resources to make. Red Hat took their easily-had, fully-owned copy of, say, wu_ftpd, and made it easier for me to use. The creator of wu_ftpd still has his or her original source tree. (No functions or variables were harmed in the making of this RPM.)

    It's information. You can give without losing, accept without depriving others. Red Hat (indeed, any free software VAR) is only adding value (more free software, tools to make free software more convenient, support to make it more trustworthy, et c.).

    I encourage all of you to 'take' from me as many copies of Gzilla as will fit on your storage systems. Go ahead -- send patches, make an RPM, put it on a CD. See if I care. ;)

  8. Re:Mozilla... Is it even worth the download? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5 · on Mozilla M6 released

    I realize that some of the code is made up of netscape's, why didn't the mozilla team choose a better browser to model?

    The Mozilla project was initiated by Netscape, and most of its developers work there. Not so much of the code derives from the Navigator codebase anymore; a good deal has been rewritten from scratch (which is why it's been in development so long).

    Does anyone know of a browser for the gnome desktop? Am i correct that mozilla makes use of gtk? Do any other browsers out there?

    Yes, Mozilla uses gtk. Another gtk browser (still alpha) to check out is Gzilla.

    [disclaimer: yes MS is not the most 'kind' organization, but IMHO Internet Explorer is a damn fine piece of software (on win32 and mac that is)]. i hope the linux version is usable.

    Ha! It's not too bad on Win32, but MSIE on the Mac is a joke. It's plagued by random crashes and inexplicable slowdowns. Navigator is far from bulletproof, but at least it works passably well on most platforms.
