Internet Application

The internet browser that is bundled with Red Hat Linux is Netscape Navigator, which is supplied with the Netscape Communicator suite of programs. At the beginning of 2001, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was not available for Linux.

Netscape Communicator provides an excellent suite of programs including web browser (Navigator), email client (Messenger), News group client (Newsreader), and the web page editing sosoftware (Composer).

To launch Netscape Navigator, click the Netscape icon on the GNOME panel.
Netscape Navigator works in Linux as it does in any other operating system. Web page addresses are typed in the Location box and bookmarks can be used to revisit your favorite sites in the internet.
