[plug] Recommended Distro for lo spec computer? [UNCLASSIFIED]

[Clark Julian]

Ahh, I doubt that she'd want to consider a text based browser.

We're talking about someone that is probably running windows 95/98 here.

A p166 should be capable of displaying this stuff realatively
efficeintly. This is the corner of the market that netscape held until
MS came stomping through.

Any suggestions for a leaner graphical browser?
