Newspapers were spozed to kill off books. Radio was spozed to kill off newspapers. Movies were spozed to kill off newspapers. Magazines were spozed to kill off newspapers. Radio was spozed to kill off newspapers. Television was spozed to kill off radio. Records were spozed to kill off radio. CDs were spozed to kill off records. VHS tapes were spozed to kill off television and the movies. DVDs were spozed to kill off CDs and the movies and television. The net was spozed to kill off everything.
The result?
I read a newspaper, multiple magazines, watch hours of TV, listen to hours of radio, read a book every few days, listen to records and CDs and watch DVDs and lounge on the net for hours daily and manage to get in a movie every week or two.
Wasn't the whole point of portable unix and C and crap that makes up the foundation of userland is that you don't have to give a shit about the underlying processor? Everything works the same. Just recompile. Well hurrah. We've succeeded! It's a tremendous accomplishment! I want to see dancing in the streets for godsakes.
I just went to joker.com and registered a dot com for 12 euros/year. No bullshit, no $70 NSI ripoffs, no mandatory fucked up hosting fer MAXIBUXX crap, just CLICK CLICK CLICK it's mine for 10 dollah SUCKY SUCKY.
The 'rest of the world' has extreme difficulty discerning the difference between 'Microsoft Outlook' and 'Microsoft Outlook Express'.
The 'rest of the world' does not have any idea that 'Microsoft Office' is a large collection of integrated programs.
The 'rest of the world' makes absolutely no distinction between 'Netscape', 'Netcenter', 'Yahoo', 'AOL', 'Hotmail', 'Dial Up Networking', 'Internet Explorer', 'Windows', or 'msn.com'.
This is why they are the 'general public' and I can tell exactly what a stupid crap piece of unix software does and whether i could use it or not simply by it's name.

***MANUAL FOR UNIX WEB-BROWSING***
Go to terminal. Type in 'lynx'. WOW.
Go to terminal. Install 'links'. ULTRA-WOW!
Go to terminal. Install 'w3m'. WOW!
Go to application-launcher. Type in 'netscape'. WOW!
Go to application-launcher. Type in 'kfm --window'. EXTREME WOW.
Go to terminal. Download and unpack appropriate Mozilla build. Type 'mozilla'. WOW.
Go to terminal. Locate a java browser, or Amaya, or Opera beta, or any of TWENTY UMPTEEN other projects. Install. WOW.

Web browsing options for unix are plentiful for those who take ten seconds of effort to slap them on the machine, even if nothing is as exceptional as Internet Explorer.
'kfm' is the most brutally underrated quick/fast/dirty web browser ever created. Everyone has KDE, hence kfm, on their linux/bsd desktops, yet hardly anyone fucking realizes what it can do.
'links' is the most brutally underexposed text browser ever. Lynx is a fucking dump next to it. And yes, it does color and frames and tables and layout and that shit. Press 'Esc' to turn on color.
The GTKHTML and Konqueror projects are fucking wonderful.
I see a few problems immediately with the scheme devised here... The prolog.INS modulator is not bound closely to the main threading abstractor, and the concept of using a KDI interface to a dsucked intulator is laughable at best.
Oh yeah, Mozilla is a slow buggy piece of shit anyway, so it's irrelevant how fast these new routers are.
Riding off of a stock RH6.1, it installed like a dream. I chose [INSTALL ALL PACKAGES]. Installation was maybe 30 minutes off of a T1, bombed out once... I restarted the script, it picked up what was already downloaded, and continued without a hitch.
The UI polish is exceptional. The new Sawfish windowmanager default is a godsend from the clunky old Enlightement. The MacOS-style menu up top is actually usful. The width and breadth of applications it comes bunded with is incredible.
I got:
Development Tools 15-odd games A word processor An extremely competent spreadsheet A flowcharter Themes for everything Multimedia applications (xmms et al) A dozen and five text editors, and mini-word-processors Hex editors, calculators, basic address books, index tools, palmpilot tools, calendars... The panel/applet system which is extremely pleasurable to use coming off of Win9x A goddamn online dictionary reference A much improved control panel Endless tools and monitors and just tons of other things...
Cost:
Economic price of $0.00 Time price of 30 minutes Effort price of Zero
This is a significantly better value proposition for me than paying 100 dollars or more for a near-useless-by-default Windows 9x, several hundred dollars for a flakey and inflexible WinNT, lots for a MacOS-capable hardware setup, or anything else...
Helix gives gnome polish, like Corel and SUSE did for KDE... It's nice.
