I've just downloaded links. My search for a fast lightweight browser is over now. I'm perfectly happy. Goodbye, Netscape. I won't miss you much.

You can't view images easily. Did you try Konqueror? A lot of people like it very much.

I'm using a p200mmx/64M laptop with 1MB video card. It is not fun to run X on it. I don't even have kde installed, not to mention kde2. TWM is just great. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
I will try kde2/konqueror as soon as I've better hardware.
And I really like not having to view images.
Fortunately, the information is still mainly contained in texts - images do nothing except slowing access. (Yeah, I already hate those <MAP> and <AREA> tags).

Just so you know, there was a guy who posted and figured out how to view images. He used a svgalib image viewer and could look at the images one by one. Just FYI, if you're bored sometime.

I've been thinking about it already. I will try it. Thanks !
There is a much more difficult thing than images: how to listen to streamed RealAudio.
RealPlayer is not OpenSource, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif so I can't rewrite it myself. Maybe there is a way of making RP think it can connect to the Xserver? I know I'm asking for trouble http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif
