| Quote (davide @ Dec. 09 2004,12:33) | Firefoz of course cannot run on old machines as fast as dillo or glinks, (which was a very good browser and hope it's out there in the dsl repository).I like it very much I use it daily as my main browser.
Still, the apperance of firefox in dsl has slightly changed one of the aims of the distro, in my opinion.
It was a distro that aimed "to be live" and "to stay under 50" and "to run well on older hardware" AS IS. Now the latest statement isn't true anymore.
It can take ages to start up firefox on a PI 133 i.e.
just my 2 cents
nothing bad or serious. it's stilla a great distro, because you can d/l glinks easily. |
I have to agree with you; it does change the distro.
Firefox must take up quite a bit of space and I probably won't be using it with my old hardware because it takes so long to startup.
