Thanks for the response. I respect your apparent knowledge of this issue, but still disagree with you. I understand your arguments, but am still unconvinced. If I am wrong, good. Then I’ll learn something new. I want to find out if my assertion is true or not. It may be that we are saying the same thing, but don’t realize it yet.

What browser did you use to download Firefox ?

I.E. What browser does Linux come equipped with ?

I’m running CentOS, (Community Enterprise OS).

It is a community version of Red Hat Linux. The Red Hat distribution is aimed at a corporate customer user base. Red Hat customers pay Red Hat for support of Linux.

The CentOS team is an organization unto itself, though it has ties with Red Hat (recent changes brought them closer). They call Red Hat the “upstream vendor”. CentOS basically takes Red Hat’s distribution, source code and all, and removes the Ret Hat branding and substitute CentOS branding, and builds their distribution from that. The CentOS distribution is available free of charge - but the caveat is there’s no support available to purchase. The CentOS customer must get by on their own.

Red Hat/CentOS comes with Mozilla Firefox as its default browser.
