6 The Mozilla Web Browser
Once you have configured your Internet connection (see Chapter 5, Getting Online), you are ready to
get online. Red Hat Linux comes with the open source browser Mozilla. This chapter explains how
to customize Mozilla so you can surf the Web, send and receive email, subscribe to newsgroups, and
create webpages.
Mozilla functions like any other Web browser. It has the standard navigation toolbars, buttons, and
menus. To learn more about browser basics, go to Section A.1.5, Basic Web Browser Navigation.
