Hi, I am sitting here now on my Debian box listening to NetRadio having X11Amp ready, all in all, I have a new envoironemt to work in that in many ways is just as appealing as my Windows environment was, except for the fact that this one is much more stable and looks soooo much better than MS Windows does (thanks to WindowMaker!).
And then I have to miss two essential tools: 1. A stable www browser. 2. A multi account email program. 1. Netscape doesn't even need many comments. It us unstable and full of bugs under Linux. It works, but it does crash, alot! Always has under Linux. And I do not want lynx! :) 2. Linux people tell me to use mutt or pine or elm or whatever, but I do not want that. I want something like Outlook Express, The Bat! or even Eudora. But there is no such thing! A combo consisting of XFmail, exim and fetchmail is the only solution that comes close to those Win MUA's in my opinion. Then there is email software connected to Gnome and KDE. I do not want that either. Is Linux going to become "worse" than Windows, because you will have to choose a desktop environment you do not really like because it comes with "must have" apps? I hope not.... Help me out here! :) I just find it strange that I am sitting here now with this wonderful multimedia capable, efficient and good looking desktop environment running a great Linux distro feeling I lack BASIC Internet software. I am ready for you guys being sarcastic and telling me how wonderful command line and ncurses are, how Windows sucks and how I should "see the light" I do not have time to start all over and do it the "good 'ol way" I rely on Debian/Linux for work. I just need those tools and hope to see them around soon! :) I also know I should contribute myself, but I can't, I am not a programmer. I want to pay for software I like to use. I decent browser and email program would be something I would gladly pay for...right now if available! //////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\ Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux //////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\//////\\\\\\ "Clones are people two"
