Well,
I have mozilla too, and I realy prefer open source software when I
can have it. But mozilla makes me wonder... First af all, what's the
point in haviong open source software whose source is some 1600 source
files? Do you realy plan to go through this to see how it is done and
be sure there are no backdoors or other problems? :-/
Second, I dont know why but mozilla randomly crashes on my sparc 10
with Debian potato... And even here on the i686/potato it has some
problem, such as being unable to open a link when launched as the
gnome browser.
Cheers
