Yeah, I have always found Epiphany to simply be too buggy to use. Chromium though should work fine? I have yet to have any previous issues with it? When the Jessie update is finished, it will be including IceWeasel which is similar to Firefox, but that will be a month or 2 at least. Another option is if you server is powerful, you could try using a base LTSP feature (PiNet is based off LTSP), called LTSP-RemoteApps. It allows you to run an app on the server sandboxed, then forward it like a standard app on the Pi. I have had great previous success with it and Firefox. To use it, open a terminal on a Pi and type ltsp-remoteapps firefox It will take a few seconds and should fire up. It would be pretty simple to then create a desktop shortcut for it etc.

Thanks Simon. As developer of PiNet, I want to point out, PiNet does not include a DHCP server, nor does it include any easy way from the PiNet control panel of adding one. If you want to add a DHCP server, it very much leaves you on your own. The thinking being, if you are able to install one and set it up, chances are you probably know that running 2 DHCP servers on the same network isn't a particularly great idea.. I am not sure why you need a second DHCP server? The DHCP server does not manage who has access to the internet, although internet access may depend on which range you are put on I guess? Either way, the main DHCP server should be able to be configured to simply hand out addresses to the MAC addresses of the Pis and put them on a different range? PiNet itself is set up to basically be passive on a network. The address of the server (which should have a DHCP reservation) is included on the SD cards themselves with the boot files. So to reiterate, PiNet does not include (or make it easy to install) a DHCP server and it is not recommended to do so.
