Well, I don't find it *that* bad, but I am growing less satisfied with
Netscape with every release.

None that I know of, Lynx and Netscape are the only two I've been happy
with under Linux.
When I'm at my primary machine, I can always fire up vmware and run IE
under it, it works quite well. Oddly, W98 under vmware is more stable
for me than it ever has been running firectly on the hardware. I do this
mostly to make sure that Windows users can view my web pages.
If you go this route, I suggest a processer in the 400MHz plus range,
the faster the better, and at least 128M of RAM. I'm much happier with
256M.

I shouted out in the car "OpenBSD's not Linux!" when I heard
that on NPR.

I wonder why no one has mentioned _konqueror_? (I know, you would need at
least to install Qt and kde libraries, and it is more than a browser). I
currently use netscape (fastest so far in rendering), but will change to
konqueror as soon as the stable version is released and gets *stable*
(which should happen in about two weeks?).
Take a look at www.konqueror.org .

Have you tried one of the nightly mozilla builds?

Since linux-smp is a Symmetric Multiprocessing System, why would you need to
know on which CPU a process starts on, or what CPU it is running on? The
instant after it starts, it could be switched to another CPU anyway, so where
it starts is not really very important, IMAO.
I frequently run two CPU-intensive processes; setiathome, that runs at nice
+19 (i.e, with minimum likelihood of runnnig), and the other a suite of
programs doing a populate of a database, at nice 0 (i.e., with normal
priority).
If you run xosview, it will show you what each CPU is doing. User mode
programs are displayed in green, Nice programs are displayed in yellow,
system is displayed in orange, and idle is displayed in sort-of cyan.
So in my case, the yellow cpu is the one running the setiathome process and
the green cpu is running the database process. If you examine the output of
this xosview program, you will see which cpu runs each program, provided you
are running only those two programs. Since all the daemons, etc., are also
running, this will not be exact, but illisutrate pretty well why it does not
matter on which cpu a process starts.

Hi!
If anybody has some good icon packs, please email me.
I'll appreciate it a lot.
Just don't offer me the ones from Gnome/KDE :))
Thanks in advance!

Lynx, Emacs, and mutt will run on it as soon as it has a decent terminal
emulator.
90% of what I use X for is to run a half-dozen text-mode programs at the
same time anyway. I still need the other 10% though...

The KDE desktop's default file manager (kfm) is also a web browser (it
uses the konqueror browsing engine).
I generally use links (another text-based browser for Linux, OS/2, and
BeOS which displays frames and tables properly):

You need something like lm_sensors for the kernel drivers and
optionally a gui program lime gnomesensors or wmsensors for a pretty
looking interface. I happen to have a Abit BH6 motherboard also and
know that the above worked on it although I haven't really used those
programs for a while now.
