What browser do you use

And IE only has a small footprint because most of it loads at Windoze startup!

Some distros do, some don't. I never use a home page now, I use Tab Mix Plus and its session facility, so my Firefox always fires up with 10+ tabs open. (OK, I have 10 home pages then.)

Plus I can sync bookmarks between Windoze and OpenSUSE using Foxmarks!

SUSE on laptop, I think my desktop is still Ubuntu! lol

suse and pclinuxOS were the only distros that would install on my laptop and desktop without some problem or other. Tried most of them, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, FreeBSD, etc. Most left me with no internet access by default. In Debian, even the installer didn't run correctly---blank or corrupted screen.

SUSE has Yast, which even runs in terminal mode and is great for recovery. Over the years I have developed a habit of testing software to destruction.

Nobody's mentioned links. It has features that opera/ff/ie lack, they have things links doesn't. links is very quick, for example. The whole Internet looks much the same whichever site you're on, there's no colours and no pictures. Navigating with the keyboard makes everything very fast compared to aim-and-click mousing.

Has anyone given it a go? I'm in links at the moment writing this post, it feels natural enough.

I don't rearly like the sound of links, I like having each webpage different to others, and quite ofternly the pictures, colours etc. are what makes a web page, a webpage.

The main reason to use links is to check that something you've written for the web makes sense to blind users. You cut out the photos and the colours and try to navigate it without those clues. If it's meaningless then you go back to your code and improve it. So, it has a rational excuse as well as being a wow-fast way around the Internet.

Do you mean lynx? Yes, excellent and fast!
