Before I take the plunge into linux, I would like to know if anyone's had any problems running KM on Linux. (I'm going to use Redhat 7.1)

It should be possible if you have Windows emulation (some Windows system files are needed as well. The best thing to do here is to copy the Windows\System directory from a contemporary operation system like W98SE)

If you have the Gnome libs you could always try out Galeon. Almost like KM except that it is for the Linux OS. Has the same rendering engine, Gecko.

Though, Konquerer (the KDE browser) is a superior browser compared to Galeon.

neither are comparable imho. galeon and konq are more comparable to internet explorer, communicator or mozilla (in that they are almost as resource hungry and slow (imo).)

If you want to try a "light" browser (for linux), try skipstone.
Although the latest release is a little buggy, it usually works ok, although it is a bit outdated.
