Best browser for small comp with 95

WhiteTornado · 07-15-2003, 06:11 AM

Hi,
In fixing small computers one thing that has bugged me the most has been to set them up with a browser that was light enough to be useful and not kill the machine' ressources, I have for exemple this 80486 with 16Mo Ram, Windows 95A on it, the comp runs just fine for small task for any low budjet user, I have tried a few different browsers but they are heavy and all uses too much ressources, I know this might seem paradoxal since the Web is filled with ressources hungry apps and gadgets, but I thought I check out this issue on this forum.

Any Linux OS that would be better even?

Cheers

Try mozilla at www.mozilla.org

Specifically Linux 6.0. You can use you computer at most. Don't install higher version of Linux.

tks, for some reasons Mozilla would not install ... on the Linux 6.0, which distro are you referring to? Mandrake?

cheers!
