Lightweight is what I need. My machine is an "old" P3 1.2 Ghz with "only" 512 MB Ram. I tried Adobe Reader once, but it was *really* heavy; it was ridiculous: this machine suffices for everything I do, but reading a text 100 pages long with Adobe Reader made it feel sluggish. Pdf has its benefits, but I really don't understand why displaying text has to freak out my notebook more than basically anything else I am doing, even with xpdf :( Memnon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
