Sorry, that comment just reminded me of that. I don't have an URL
handy, but a search should turn up stuff if anybody's interested.

If I'm not mistaken, it's skinnable (or maybe I'm thinking of
Mozilla). In any case, I believe that a growing number of people will
use it by default (if the backend is better than NS4.x), unless
Microsoft ports IE to Linux (it wouldn't be that hard, actually, as they
already have Solaris and HPUX versions).
Or unless some of the other browsers (Opera et al) get significantly
better. Lynx/w3m isn't for everybody. :)
