Wow, what a difference two chip generations and a few hundred MHz makes!

I've installed galeon-0.10.5-1.mozilla.0.8.1 on my Woody laptop.  I had
to force dependencies to get it installed:

    $ dpkg --force-depends -i galeon-0.10.5-1.mozilla.0.8.1.deb

...but it appears to be doing fine.

And it's flying!  Faster than Mozilla on the same box, and faster than
Netscape on my desktop.  Pretty damned stable as well -- tweaking
preferences has crashed it...ok, more than once, but rooting around a
bunch of web pages is doing fine.

Definitely recommended.
