Straight from Wikipedia

GNU IceCat is a web browser created and maintained by Joseph Writing for the project GNU. And 'only available for GNU / Linux. This is a fork of Mozilla Firefox and, unlike the latter, contains code completely free. E 'localization available in Italian. The main difference is that while Firefox plugin installed by default, some free for viewing multimedia content, and uses only IceCat download plugin free, etc.etc. For more info refer to the link above. This is the browser I use most along with Iceweasel on my Debian. To install it:

$ Wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/3.0.9-g1/icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386.tar.bz2

$ Tar jvxf icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386.tar.bz2

# Mv icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386 / opt

# Cd / opt

# Cd icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386

#. / Icecat

to have the Flash plugin (free):

# Apt-get install gnash mozilla-plugin-gnash

# Ln-s / usr / lib / gnash / libgnashplugin.so / opt/icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386/plugins

# Exit

To Start:

$ / & Opt/icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386/icecat

at this point that remains is to create an icon on the panel startup:

• Right click on panel
• Add to Panel
• Create new pitcher
• Name = GNU IceCat
• Command = / opt/icecat-3.0.9-g1-i386/icecat &
• Comment = IceCat Gnu browser

As for the icon will need a SVG, which you download from here. And then enter:

icecat.svg mv / usr / share / icons / hicolor / scalable / apps

On my Debian Squezee Gnash is at version 0.8.4 to 0.8.5 update to install some dependencies needed:

$ Wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnash/0.8.5/gnash-0.8.5.tar.bz2
