My primary browser is Galeon, and has been for the last few months. It's a Gecko- and Gnome-based web browser. As such, it is very fast, because it uses a native graphics toolkit (Gtk+) and does very nice rendering. Give it a try - the guys have RPMs for RedHat, Slackware packages, and it's already in Debian sid - just apt-get install galeon. It is significantly faster than Mozilla and offers pretty much the same web browser functionality, if not even better. Stability with Mozilla 0.9.3 and Galeon 0.11.5 is pretty much perfect - I don't recall a single crash with this combo. And it seems like it's becoming the default browser for GNOME - somethind I'd definitely love to see.
Just a note to those using Konqueror - I don't know what the claims that it supports CSS are based on. I haven't yet tried the latest KDE 2.2, but the one in 2.1.1 just doesn't cut it.
You missed Africa:-), which besides South Africa is a place you want to stay away from.
South Africa has probably _the_ best ratio of money_you_can_earn/standard_you_can_afford in the world. Come and see if you don't believe. The direction this country is heading into worries me though and being an European I will probably go back to EU. Too much crime and not enough actual economical growth - the country still has a few big industries which make a lot of export and that keeps the national currency stable. But with the course of the government most businesses are looking into slow shut down and migration to other countries... In most of my friends' opinion South Africa is a country where you can quickly make enough money to move to somewhere else, where you can keep the standard of life at greater expenses tough with less risk.
I still have one more year for this choice but I definitely agree with the guy that said you'd better not go to school at all if all you want it for is a good CV. IMO education is not that important once you get to make personal contact with the people, e.g. interview or show them what you've done before. On that matter - why don't you sit down and contribute to some open source project? This really gets all the points for job acceptance:-)
I looked at the code and found that XMPS is using WINE's PE loader in order to use the Windows DLL file. That is, the author has ripped a part of WINE that loads Windows executables. As far as I know, WINE runs on almost every x86 Unix, including FreeBSD and Solaris, thus the title which says "DivX under Linux" is not quite correct.
Trying the "TestGtkMozEmbed" proggie from M16 made me feel sorry for all the guys running non-Unix systems.. this one just kicks ass!
If you don't know, GtkMozEmbed is the Gecko renderer in a nice Gtk+ widget, so that Gtk+ programs can directly use ot for full-blown browsing. The nice effect of using this instead of mozilla is that you just don't load all the UI/Mailer/Bookmarking/History/Cacheing crap and have a *REALLY* *FAST* browser... Just check it out!:-)

Hope this helps.
