In principle, a good idea, but the lack of an anywhere near decent browser under UNIX worries me:
netscape is so flacky I've given up using that, and resorted to using Explorer under NT (despite all
my promises back in my youth).

"wish" seems to be the choice of the linux community (type make xconfig on a linux kernel source
tree), but afraid I know nothing about it.
