I've heard that Galeon works alright on slower systems (Mozilla's user interface code is the main part that's slow), but I've never tried it. Netscape is better than Mozilla, but still slow. It might be worth spending the $20 or whatever to get Opera. I second the recommendation on WindowMaker -- it should work pretty well for that environment. If that's too much, there's always some incantation of fvwm to try (the way to make it entirely obvious that you're running something Unix-like). -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Eagles may soar, but / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ weasels don't get sucked \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) into jet engines.
