MiniMo is a browser for small devices, such as pda's and smartphones, i think. and its only available for ARM now.

I think adding Firefox is a misstep looking at the goal of the distro. Dillo and links-hacked do already a lot, the people who would need firefox for those flashy sites (which don't fit in with DSL either

) can easily download a firefox .dsl for that. They can remaster the cd to add firefox.. but I don't think it belongs on DSL, not in my idea of DSL at least. There sure is better use for that space isn't there?

Dillo and Links-hacked do a lot, but they are far behind with some of the most common web elements, CSS being a prime example. One might consider decent layout to be flashy and unnecessary, but I don't. I use Dillo for reading basic HTML pages stored locally, just for the startup speed...everything else is much better in firefox. Then again, I don't even use DSL online, so I don't know why i'm posting this... =o)

enable the turbo more type about:config in the address bar and play with the settings can greatly increase speed even on old 331 mhz celery processors with as little as 64 mgs of ram
