Heh, heh...but what is perceived as a deficiency in Slackware, may be its great
strength as a base Linux distribution to build a Red Hat compatible system that
can be installed on an 80386DX with 16 MB RAM. If it isn't already there, it
doesn't have to be removed.
Emacs? Eeeeeew! :-)
As an aside, if anyone at this list hasn't looked at Dillo, they should. It's
still pretty much "pre-beta" but it demonstrates that a graphical browser
doesn't have to be bloated. Since Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Galeon, Konqueror,
etc., have become so huge, they're part of the problem when considering how to
put slow, low memory machines into service with Linux. If a machine can run an
Xserver, it can run Dillo, and it will load quickly as an application -- and
load web pages quickly after it is opened. Takes very little hard drive space
as well. It's about 2% of the size of most contemporary browsers.
