What's the best browser for deb 2.2.18?
I dont think I wanna try to upgrade the kernel so I can get the latest
Moz or Opera. I got a flakey motherboard. It runs MS-DOS & FREEDOS, but
not ROM-DOS or DR-DOS. Seems to be a CPU cache problem, but it dont
matter whether I use an INTEL, AMD, or VIA cpu. Whatever.
But, as you see, it runs the COREL 1.2 (deb 2.2.18) pretty well. It'll
run RH 9, (linux 2.4) if I dont use the VIA, but boy is that a dog,
takes forever to boot up. But recent versions of Mandrake & Suse crash
on install. And while BSD, Caldera, & Gentoo will install, no ppp driver
will connect with my ISP. Even with Corel, 'internet connection wizard'
dont, but kppp does. go figure. I already got a life.
But- Netscape 4.7 is buggy. Sometimes a website tells me I need to
download a flash. But that dont work, it tells me I need a newer version
of Netscape. But I already knew that. Linux is so good about telling me
stuff I already know, and so bad about telling the stuff I need to know.
Anyway, I could put up with the websites locking up the browser, but the
message filters dont work, and the spam filling my mail box keeps
figuring how to get past the isp filters, and I can see the trend.
Maybe I could get by with just a better emial tool. But- what is
curious, is that when I went to Mozilla, I couldnt find an earlier
version; it only wanted me to download the latest, and told me I needed
to upgrade the kernel. I already knew that. But I got a kernel that
works, and dont want to muck it up. Then going to Opera, that search for
an earlier version ran into a snafu in their .html that kept bouncing me
back to the link that I called from.
So- what more stable browsers work with 2.2.18? At least I might know
specifically what I need.
