Unless or until a Linux programmer (or three) gets interested in
taking over the port to Linux, Arachne for Linux is proof of concept
only, and unuseable for more than a couple of minutes.
The closest Linux browser to Arachne that I have found is Links
(graphical + SSL). Fast, graphics, some javascript, very configurable,
runs from CLI and in X.
