I run netscape (ftp.mcom.com) and love it...but you can't get sources.
That doesn't bother me too much in this case since you can only get it from
the author.

NCSA mosaic also works great...but you need motif to build it yourself (although
I've found the binaries on sunsite work fine).

For quick'n'dirty, running lynx in a virtual console works fine too.
