This is getting OT, but I need to express my rants...=20

First, any Moz-derivate is too much bloat for anything under a P300 w/
64Mb RAM. 128M helps.=20

That's simply sick. This is just a *web browser*, people, why is it so
bloated?

Also, Galeon uses the fixed-point fonts on my machine. When I tell him
to use the true-type one, it *forgets* on the next session.

Argh.

And let's not talk about moz too much.=20

So yes, we only have linux-netscape as a valid browser.
