It is kind of like driving a car without a windscreen; it runs, but it
is not nice.
Install Iceweasel and Icedove, and so on. Iceape is still in Debian,
but right now it is in "Sid". You can still install it, if you like.
Add Sid to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Or add "Squeeze" (the codename
for the future successor to 5.0) to sources.list, and wait a while, and
eventually Iceape will appear there.
prehistoric == "Sarge" (Old Oldstable)
Debian 4.0 == "Etch" (Oldstable)
Debian 5.0 == "Lenny" (Stable)
Testing == "Squeeze"
Unstable == "Sid"
Experimental == "Experimental"
Things tend to enter at Sid, and "float up" to Stable.
So, patience, or install some alternatives. Iceweasel 3.0.x is better
that the Mozilla Suite for a web brower, in my opinion. You might find
a better calendar app, too. Try Evolution. Or Iceowl. Icedove is
Thunderbird. If you install Iceowl, also install iceowl-extention,
which lets you use the Iceowl with IceDove. Bluefish is a good HTML editor.
