Thought I'd let you know that blackbox and opera were the most responsive on the thinkpad 365X.

My laptop is now browsing the web quickly, and without delay.

 

you guys have made an old man and computer very happy ;-)

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

All,

 

I'm running Debian potato on an IBM Thinkpad 365X 24MB RAM, which has a Cyber Trident 9320 display card (has 1Mb on board).

I have tried fvwm, fvwm2, icewm, and wdm. I have tried mozilla as a browser and it takes 3-4 minutes to display anything. Of course I could use lynx, but I really would like to get some graphic browser working.

 

can anyone recommend a windows manager/browser which may run faster than the dog I'm running now.

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Barry

 

P.S. RAM can only expand to a max of 32Mb.
