I understood the need for both glinks-hacked and Dillo when Firefox was not available, but...

What's Dillo for now?  Firefox is capable of handling the myDSLGUI, is it not?

Dillo is for people with old hardware, and allows them to launch a web browser without having to wait an extensive amount of time and not have to suffer through the pains that new users may experience with a text based browser. One purpose of this small, light distribution is to give users with old hardware an ability to revive their hardware and use it in an effective manner.

The GTK version of Links is no longer in DSL.
It has been replaced with Firefox.
The cli version is still there for use when the XServer is not available.
It works great for blogs , text pages like google, and such..
Many folks like to work from shell, rather than GUI.

Also, the MyDSL app, and the "Getting Started" guide
all work thru dillo, because of it's speed and low-ram requirements.
It's especially effective on low ram, and CPU challenged systems.
So, Dillo is here to stay...

Thank you!
I use low ram pc's with DSL, as well as not so low ram pc's.
However, i use Dillo when and where i can. You guys are absolutely correct in wanting to keep Dillo, as it has it's place and purpose for many of us.
