YES!! Does there exist the chance of getting an Ubuntu package? Firefox is too resource intensive for older computers.

You mean the second-hand version of Opera for mobiles that mozilla is developing?

If you want a lightweight gecko based browser maybe try kazehakase (http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/)? Otherwise opera is doing fine on old hardware.

Kazehakase is quite unstable. Otherwise very nice. I was wondering if anyone has succeeded in compiling minimo for Linux x86. Does it even work on high-res screens of normal desktop computers?

I spent Saturday (Aug 13th) compiling Minimo (from Mozilla-1.7 .8) and got a 180 Meg executable that segfaults. Tried it twice, same results. Used this URL:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html

Out of ideas here.

Hmmm. Any suggestions anybody? (Trying to keep this subject alive here. But I am clueless when it comes to building from source :-) ) One guy claims he was able to do this.

If anyone is still interested I've been doing a little work on putting together a desktop friendly version of Minimo for the STX Linux (http://stibs.cc/stx) distribution (aimed at low end systems); a somwhat buggy but roughly usable build can be downloaded from: http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2005/09/23/stx-minimo/
It's supplied as a Debian package and should work fine under Ubuntu (I built it on my Ubuntu machine).
