Using the Internet

Browsing and Surfing

Using the Internet with Mandrakelinux is very easy. And since it includes many mail clients and web browsers, you can choose the one which you prefer.

The default e-mail client in Mandrakelinux is part of the Kontact suite of applications and is called KMail. With it you will be able to read and write e-mails, filter spam, sign and encrypt your messages, and more (see Chapter 8, Writing E-mails with KMail). To browse the web we provide you with documentation about the extremely popular Mozilla-based Firefox (see Chapter 9, Surfing the Web with Firefox which is seriously threatening Internet Explorer's monopoly especially since it's also available on Windows®. You will soon enjoy tabbed browsing, watch RSS feeds as well as the other standard web browser features such as managing (and importing) bookmarks.
