	In my humble opinion, I think that you should give Opera a
	try.  Even with its problems (no software is perfect after
	all), Opera is getting better quickly and it is the only
	graphical browser actually usable with a low amount of RAM.

	Unfortunately, the PowerPC version is still 5.0, but Opera
	Software is releasing test versions of 6.0 (the current
	version is 6.0tp3, where tp stands for "technology preview)
	for x86.

	I would expect that all versions to be in sync when the final
	6.0 is released. But Opera 5.0 for PowerPC is quite usable
	anyway.

	Furthermore, the x86 versions are even packaged for Debian! I
	think that if enough people kindly ask them, they could also
	make a deb for the PPC version.


	Hope this helps, Roger...
