[ILUG] Web Browsers and MTAs

[bryan hunt]

If you need to have a web browser that 

1 Runs flash, java and any other plugins that Mozilla supports. 

2 Allows you to browse your network and read files on windows shares ( rw will 
be in kde 3.1 ) 

3 Acts as a ftp and sftp client 

4 Also acts as a filesystem browser 

5 Displays the vast majority of web sites correctly and in some cases better 
than Mozilla 

6 Allows you to change the browser identification string to trick sites that 
only allow people using Internet exploiter to access them

7 Is fast and incredibly easy to use 

Then you need konqueror 

If you want a fast easy to use and customisable mail client that supports all 
kinda bells and whistles and doesn't need a pension card to operate it then 
you need Kmail.

Freedom is nothing else but the chance to do better.
