Discovered a new browser...

[Cesar Mello]

I use fluxbox and micq. I don't do much web browsing on this machine,
because I vnc to a desktop quite often. But when I have to, I use
dillo. Unfortunatelly xorg, Firefox and OpenOffice are very bad to
memory. :-)

My view is that fat applications are bad. You can run Microsoft
Windows 95/98/NT, Internet Explorer 6 and Microsoft Office in the same
machine with 32 MB of RAM and it's quite acceptable. It's simply not
possible to even run xorg with Firefox or OpenOffice on this hardware.

I believe there is still chance for ligheweight applications, and as a
software developer I'll ever try to make lightweight apps. Take a look
at third-world countries and you'll see this old hardware simply can't
go to trash.

FreeBSD is an excellent OS, I just dream with a GUI that's not as
heavy as currently xorg is.

Best regards,
Cesar
