Lesson 8: The World Wide Web (WWW)
Juergen Haas
From Juergen Haas, your Guide to Linux
The Internet has much to offer in terms of information on almost any subject matter imaginable and interaction with people and organizations from all over the world. Much of this access and interaction make use of the environment which is popularly known as the World Wide Web (WWW) or web.
The Mozilla Web Browser (Navigator)
The Mozilla Web Browser (Navigator)
Mozilla is a full-featured integrated web browser, email client, news reader and web page composer program. Using Mozilla a user can be exposed to the richness and diversity of multimedia content and services available on the WWW.


Configuring Mozilla Navigator
Configuring Mozilla Navigator
Mozilla is highly configurable. To configure Mozilla, select from the main menu selection.

Finding Information on the Internet
Finding Information on the Internet
The Internet is a treasure house of information. Virtually information on any topic under the sun (and more!) can be found on the Internet.

Using a Portal
Using a Portal
The term portal is used to denote a website that acts as an gateway for providing information about a subject area or group of subjects.

Using an Internet Search Engine
Using an Internet Search Engine
While portals provide a guided and categorized means to access information, sometimes we want to be more specific about the topic we want to find and portals generally are not able to provide this in a timely and efficient manner. An alternative is to utilize a search engine.
