I agree wholeheartedly - I use slackware-current mostly CLI but have fluxbox
for when I really need X

I was using FireFox, but the latest version 1.0 prerelease, I think, (patched
already) is the pits and as a matter of fact I just dumped firefox and went
back to Opera.

It's a bit of a culture shock, admittedly, but at least I can do whatever I
like with the bookmarks and I simply love the built in RSS reader.

It suits my way of working and the uses to which I put my main box anyway and
for speed the Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox brigade simply cannot compete
