| Web browsers are like surfboards for Internet users. Internet Explorer is
| still the most widely distributed browser, but it doesn't take much
| scratching beneath the surface to discover that other programs provide better

| Users who want to conceal their surfing habits from curious Web page
| operators can turn to another Firefox spinoff called "XeroBank." It channels

| the Internet impossible to track. The price is speed: The program's
| connection can run mind-numbingly slow at times.

| The poster child of open source software, the Linux operating system runs on
| both desktop and server computers with the look and feel of Microsoft's

| x86 architecture used by Microsoft Windows, which means Windows PCs can be
| easily upgraded to run Linux (or dual-boot with Windows). A number of vendors
| now sell computers with Linux pre-installed, such as IBM, HP and Dell.
