galeon is available as a .deb, most recently:
	galeon_0.11.5-3_i386.deb
in non-US/main.

I've had great luck with galeon on my laptop (admittedly not one with scarce
resources). It loads and runs faster than mozilla, netscape, and konqueror.
I believe skipstone is even a little faster than galeon (also uses gecko
rendering engine).

Still, w3m wins out for speed and memory if you don't need a graphical UI.
