Re: Thinkpad 365X - can anyone recommend least memory hungry windows and browser

[" Paul C. Nendick " <pauly@enteract.com>]

Have you tried w3m?  I have found it to be a superior text based web browser.
Combined with a SVGAlib console based image viewer like zgv or fbi to view
selected images from a give page, it makes for a capable browsing environment.
Try it, you'll like it.

If you have your heart set on X, then my best advice is to use BlackBox
or evilwm with Opera.  Opera is the lightest/fastest/capable browser
available on Linux today (IMHO).
