Parte 3. Utilizando a Internet

Browsing, Reading and Surfing

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.
