Web Browser for fluxbox

kushalkoolwal · 05-17-2006, 04:52 PM

Hi,

I am using fluxbox on Debain Sarge. Can anyone suggest some lightweight web browser that I can use on fluxbox? Will I have to install GNOME or KDE for that?

Thanks

dillo is lightweight or elinks.no i dont think you need kde or gnome installed for them.dillo and firefox are used on a small distro called damn small linux which is debian based.

As far as elinks goes I don;t think it is a graphical browser rather it is "Graphical" Text based browser. I have used Dillo once and I was not satisfied with it.

CAn I install firefox on fluxbox without bloating my system?

Thanks for replying dude

Ok Buddy thanks for the input. Appreciate that. I asked that question again because I was really not familiar with DSL.

Either Firefox or Opera should work. Although my fav browser is Firefox.

I like firefox a lot, and I liked fluxbox a lot too, until I found enlightenment. I would say go firefox, just because it's got so many options available.
