I was just wondering, i just install Suse linix 9.3 pro , and I would like to know what Browser do you guys Prefer to use ? Which one is fastest and which one is the most dependable. Also what do you use for Email client ?
You'll get differing opinions on this matter, and in the end its entirely up to you. Personally I love Firefox, it just seems to do everything i need it to do while being very customisable with extensions and themes available from the Mozilla website. Also, it is updated often. Most of all its free, free as in free beer and free as in free speech. Open source. Another good browser is Opera, while its not open source, it is free to use and very fast. I prefer the firefox interface, but its still very solid and light on resources. Try both and see which one you prefer. As for email, Mozilla also offer a partner application to Firefox called Thunderbird which is an email/news client. On linux, Evolution email is also a good option although I haven't tried it. You should consider getting a more recent distro than SUSE 9.3 but if it works for you then fine. . Make sure you keep it updated.
Web Browsers Opera - The best browser on any platform (in my opinion ) Firefox - Good open source browser Mozilla Suite - Full browser suite including email. Outclassed by Firefox Netscape 7.2 - Proprietory version of the Mozilla suite. Outdated now Konqueror - KDE's file manager cum web browser. Good if a little slow Epiphany - GNOME web browser, crap Dillo - lightweight browser for older machines. It's crap Lynx - Text based browser for use in terminal. Email Kontact - KDE email client. Very good, I use it Evolution - Another very good email client Opera Email Client - Could use more work but good integration with browser Mozilla Suite - Outdated now Netscape 7.2 - Outdated now Sylpheed - Lightweigh email client. Very good, I use it on older computers
Thanks, i am using firefox right now,But I will try Opera to see how it runs. I like Kmail and revolution for my email,Revolution Is Linux version of OE.
If you are usin KDE you already have a good browser built in - Konquerer. I am pretty sure (and I am probaby pretty wrong...) that it can do most of what FF can do. However, I am not sure about extensions and/or plugins....
Konqueror is good for most things and is probably the best file manager I have ever used. I am always switching between that, Opera and Firefox because each has their strengths and weaknesses. Firefox has good integration and is the most compatible browser for the Linux platform. Whereas Opera is faster and sleeker. Konqueror fits in somewhere inbetween
