Seamonkey

[daacosta]

I just installed Seamonkey and I am very pleased with it. I am not sure whether to uninstall Firefox/Thunderbird or not. I haven't explored Seamonkey fully but I like the fact that web browsing, emailing, etc. are there in a single application (Is this a derivative of Netscape? It looks almost the same!) What I would like to have within it is a calendar application or some planner extension... I will research that...

Has anyone here done an honest review of web-browsers calling things the way they are? (Not the usual stuff published in LX magazines or other periodicals)

Rgds,

Yeah, I like SeaMonkey, too. I tend to switch back and forth between it and Firefox/Thunderbird when I get bored with one, or the other.

I'm hoping that it continues to develop into a really nice internet suite.

Although not a part of Seamonkey, you may want to take a look at Sunbird for you calendar needs. You can find it here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/

Enjoy!

Yep, Seamonkey is just the orginal Mozilla suite rebranded. And the Mozilla suite came from netscape.

I to would like to see a nice review of web browsers. Since firefox is such a we knonw project, people tend to forget about other nice browser out there: Seamonkey, Konqueror, Epiphany (my plug), and K-Meleon (for windows).

I prefer Opera. It's also a 2 in 1 browser and mail client. It's better than Firefox and Thunderbird.

I use Opera and Konqueror mostly. I use Seamonkey to watch Mark Fiore's cartoons and for not to frequently visited bookmarks. Although Firefox and Epiphany are in my machine I do not use them. I like Opera and then Konqueror!

Bryan,

I have Sunbird installed already and I like it. In Seamonkey I have an extension called Reminder Fox which is not a full fledged calendar application but has the minimum I need (reminders) So, in one piece of software I already have a browser, a calendar and an email suite... More than enough for me...

I shall not uninstall Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird nonetheless because I happen to like those programs but I will seriously consider using Seamonkey on my Knoppix remastered distro...

I haven't tried Opera... I will google a little and see how easy it is (ie, java, flash, adobe, realpayer integration) I am into these projects that simplify life and if Opera does the same I have seen with seamonkey and a bit more, I will consider using it...
