Safari is not open source. Nor do I think it will ever be. Apple has the copyright for the source code of Safari. And Apple doesn't want people using Linux to use Safari. He wants people to buy a Mac for using Safari, or use it on Windows The problem is very obvious - Steve Jobs.

So the source code of Safari can compile directly on Linux. So whats the problem in porting it on Linux. Mac OS is based on free BSD. So the source code of Safari can compile directly on Linux.

You only have to copy the MS Corefonts to the Wine windows/fonts folder first. And yes, some People need more than 1 Browser. Web Designer / Coder...etc. Just to check all browsers with your website without the need to reboot your System. ;) Works fine on Ubuntu 8.04 64bit (Hardy Heron), Wine 0.9.59 and Safari 3.1.

Using that as an installer and default directory allows everything to be installed. Safari can then be run independently of the window manager without affecting Internet Explorer. The only drawback is the jammed menu bar, a consequence of the fact the Safari port was meant for Windows rather than to be run natively under Linux. But website pages do display clearly just as they would be under Windows. It would be much better if Apple would port it to Linux but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

I am a software enthusiast, and I just love trying out new releases of popular software. Of course, my main web browser is Opera, though I have been using quite a lot of Firefox 3 Beta 4 too, lately.
