I think Mozilla & Galeon which, of course, relies on Mozilla, are the
best open source browsers, and they have both gotten exceptionally
reliable. I have no trouble with either. I am running potato with a few
select packages from woody and a few others from ximian (galeon, mozilla,
gnumeric, etc - definitely no nautilus or medusa for me, thanks)
1) go over the dependencies/conflicts to solve any problems
2) start from a term & watch for error messages
3) still no luck? Try downloading a binary installer of the latest
release from mozilla.org & install it in /usr/local or someplace.
