Konq

I am happy to be probably one of the first 1000 bloggers in the world to report that Konqueror actually now passes Acid2.  I have verified this personally.

KDE 3.5 rocks.  Kubuntu is great.  I still can’t believe I went from hoary to breezy and then to KDE 3.5 in less than an hour.  I couldn’t have downloaded, burned, and installed the new OS clean in that time!

Oh, and Firefox 1.5 is out today.  It works great and my beloved Optimoz Mouse Gestures still work.  It’s much faster than previous versions, and if I’m not mistaken it is the first production release to support hot updating.

OOo 2.0 works great on Linux, too.

Oh, and Konq has an automatic spellchecker associated with the scrollbox widget on websites, so all non-dictionary words within this post are showing up in red for me.

I can’t believe I’m going to wipe this to put on FreeBSD.  Yeeouch.
