DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Is Dilo necessary?



If Firefox can run perfectly on DSL, what's Dillo for?
all these computer that can't run firefox ? all these computers that run firefox too slow to call it "surfing the web" ?

dillo fits perfectly into the dsl - philosophy.

Try opening FF on something like a p133 with 24mb ram. You can click the icon, go eat lunch, take a shower and then come back to surf the web. :)

DSL is focused on older boxen and dillo is great for surfing on those machines and is also a good tool for documents like the getting started doc you see at the start of X.

It's really one of the staple apps in DSL unless another browser comes along that is as small and as fast as dillo with more features. There are other browsers out there but to date, no one here has found one that beats it yet.

Development doesn't seem to want to make multiple distros for different machines.

With multiple distros, everyone could get what they want, along with dtripping out redundant applications.

Dillo is such a little thing. If you don't like it, just remove the icon from your desktop. You won't even remember it's there. Otherwise, if you use it, you might actually like it.
