Galeon is sweeet

[Jim Herrmann]

Somebody at a meeting turned me on to iceWM for boxes with limited capacity.  
I like Galeon and Kmail also.  I still use Konqueror for some stuff, but I 
use Galeon for my surfing.  I agree that it's quick.  It hangs on me 
sometimes, though, and I have to use xkill.  Perhaps it wouldn't do that 
under a different WM?

Was your mail on Win98 in Netscape?  If so, you can copy the Netscape mail 
files directly into the ~/mail directory, and KMail should pick them up.  No 
conversion required.  It seems like if you have a complex directory structure 
in which you file your mail, it works out a little flakey, but with some 
tweaking and mucking around, you'll be able to get it to work.

HTH,
Jim Herrmann
