Using the Internet with Mandriva Linux is very easy. And since it includes many mail clients and web browsers, you can choose the one you prefer.
The default e-mail client in Mandriva Linux is part of the Kontact suite of applications and is called KMail. With it you can read and write e-mails, filter spam, sign and encrypt your messages, and more (see Seção 1, “Writing E-mails and Reading News”). The growing popularity of RSS feeds convinced us to document Akregator an open-source news reader (Seção 1.2, “Akregator”). To browse the web we provide you with documentation about the very popular Mozilla-based Firefox (see Capítulo 9, Surfing The Web With Firefox. Since it's also available on Windows®, it's seriously threatening Internet Explorer's monopoly. With it you can enjoy tabbed browsing, watch RSS feeds as well as the other standard web browser features such as managing (and importing) bookmarks.
