If you're not violently allergic to GNOME libs (and yes, it does suck in a whole mess of them, along with all of Mozilla), it's an ass-kicking browser. It's not for older/slower boxen though. I'd recommend *NO LESS* than a PII-233, and think you'll be happier with a PIII-600+ CPU. For memory, 128 MiB minimum, 256 strongly recommended. Particularly under intensive use (I can easily get over 100 tabs/windows open) it sucks both CPU and memory. But it does good things with both. Otherwise, Browse-X is the best full-featured, lightweight, SSL-enabled browser I've run across. > Karsten Likewise. Peace. -- Karsten M.
