Which browser are you using on Linux that you would call "better" than
IE5? Seriously. Every time time I try some flavor of Netscape
product for Linux it just ends up making me run screaming back to
browsing on Windows. In fact, I would rather run VMware and NT or
2000 so I could use IE5 than use Nav/Communicator on Linux.
Maybe there is some magic formula I'm supposed to be able to come up
with to do things like make the text readable and normal on all pages
but part of me just balks at having to fiddle with something as silly
as that.
I'll give you the SSH, though, although Secure CRT works just about as
well.
