384 megs are low but not so bad. I did run a Kubuntu 6.06 system at work |
| 11 |
using full KDE+Firefox+Thunderbird, Gimp, Inkscape, kpdf etc. and yes, |
| 12 |
it was slow and I had to take care not to keep too much apps on at the |
| 13 |
same time (otherwise it was swap hell), but it worked. |
| 14 |
Of course now that I added 512 mb it's much better... |

I think you just have to be careful about apps, but not worry too much. |

I'd keep firefox or opera installed as a lifeboat, anyway. Dillo and |
| 25 |
links cannot match the other two for many features you *may* have the |
| 26 |
need sometimes. |

Unfortunately the other good browser I'm aware of (Konqueror) requires |
| 29 |
kdelibs, that probably you're trying to avoid... |
