[KLUG Members] Networking - Linux - Win98 - Mac OSX

[Greg Mason]

you should try Safari on OS X. It uses the KHTML engine from Konqueror, 
and it is FAST!!!  too bad there aren't tabs yet. When it downloads, it 
can automatically unzip, unstuff, untar, and mount disk images. it's 
pretty sweet (of course, what would one expect coming from Apple?)

networking with my linux box, i've found that Samba works the best, 
too. After you get used to using control+click, I don't miss the right 
mouse button too much.
