Subject: [ale] Browser recommendation? Small and fast a must.



Looking for some advice here.


I have been running Vector Linux on my tiny, ancient
laptop, for a while now and like it for the small
footprint, not much bulkware, etc.  Based on Slackware,
Vector Linux is small, like Peanut Linux only does
things a little different.  Instead of lots of
binaries/no libraries like Peanut, Vector is the
opposite, more libraries fewer binaries.  Which is
great, because I can compile my own stuff and only have
to track down 2 to 12 libraries for every installed
piece of software ;D.  


Anyway, the default (graphics) browser used to be an
old version of netscape.  It was slow on my poor old
laptop, but ran OK.  Now it is Opera.  I would have no
problem with the banner ad support, except that on a
640*480 disply the Banner takes up 50% of my screen
real estate, which is just unacceptable.  There is no
way the hardware can handle big bulky browsers like a
modern Netscape, Mozilla, 


Does anybody have experience with the new graphic
version of the Links browser?  How about Dillo?


Thanks,
Andrew
