As mentioned earlier, Knoppix is a good choice for safe web browsing. This is especially the case if the computer has no hard disk at all, so that it is just impossible for any malicious program to get physically get a foot hold.

You can find a wide selection of browsers in Knoppix. Click the ``K'' icon at the lower left corner, then select ``Internet''. Figure 5 shows you what the available application programs related to the internet.

Of these programs, ``Mozilla Browser'' is the most well known web browser. An alternative is ``Konqueror''. If you like efficiency and don't mind using a text mode browser, ``Lynx'' is an interesting alternative.
