Hi all, I'm new to DSL, and I'm loving it.
So far I've used the forums to get DSL installed on my ancient laptop, and get wireless working.

My specs:
IBM Thinkpad 365X
P100 (Pentium Mobile 75-200)
40MB RAM
4GB Hard Drive
AC Sound

Dillo is a slick little browser, but doesn't have the Javascript and cookie support needed for most Web mail. Firefox works, but brings the system to its knees. I've tried BroseX, but it didn't have the right support either. Any suggestions on a browser that's somewhere between Dillo and Firefox, but has good Javascript and cookie support?

Not really those are pretty much the 2 best browsers. Have you tried opera? Also are you using a swap partion for extra memory, it really makes a big difference.

Thanks for the reply Kerry. I am using a swap partition, but it doesn't seem to be utilized very much -- and when it does iget used, it's certainly slow.

Is there anyway to improve swap performance?

You turn dma on? I'm looking at a webbrowser called links2 witch says it supports java. Maybe that's the one you could use, i'm still reading so i'll let you know what i think later.
