This is the machine I am planning to use for Slack 7.1 with X. I'm not sure about Netscape, but I remember that mozilla was pretty slow on the P133 with 32 meg ram, but version 1.0 works better with more ram (currently 96 meg). > > I've tried at least a half dozen others in the past. > > Which other graphical browsers for Linux have your tried on > the P133? How did they perform compared to Netscape/mozilla? Dillo, Amaya, Konqueror, Opera, and a few others that I forget. Some may have been faster, but they didn't support as much as mozilla or Netscape. I'd have to try them again with Slack 7.1 and perhaps cut the P133 back to 32 (or even 16) meg ram for testing. I'm not sure that this is something that can be decided easily. It may be better to get more people running X in BL and then let them experiment themselves. Regards, Howard E.
