I use it primarily with konqueror for applets and well it just works (with all the usual quirks as on linux -- say cut and paste...) and though not really rocketing it's fast enough. I'm pretty sure that server side it works a lot better (as it seems to do on every OS). Dan On Tuesday 19 July 2005 22:53, Andrew L.
