I'm using Epiphany with Fluxbox WM right now. It works. I like it better than Firefox (1.0.4 Sarge) for most things, because it's faster. I like Firefox better if I want to use one of the extensions. I switch between Epiphany and Firefox. I have idesk icons for both on my Fluxbox desktop. You could try Amaya, the web browser/development application for W3C. It's actually Gecko based, but you wouldn't know it by using it. I don't care for it, myself, but it is an option. -- Matthew K Poer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
