I used to work with galeon a couple of years ago but it didn't have proper hebrew support so I dropped it. I don't know where it stands now. Another two options are dillo (no flash, javascript and frames) and links-graphic (I think the links2 package in debian is the same thing), I don't think it has flash support but its supposed to have frames and javascript support. another option I have no experience with is browseX which runs on svgalib (console with gui). > I am looking for a nice FTP client.

I use rxvt-unicode-lite which can also handle unicode (and different fonts for different character sets). It doesn't handle tabs though. I run screen inside rxvt to handle multiple sessions (behaves like text tabs, but can also handle other text based programs such as vim and emacs. It can also disconect/reconect or connect multiple times to the same session, also remotely from ssh etc). Another option is to use a tabs enables window manager so that you can group several windows together, without any relation to what they are. Thats what I did before I moved to screen, but the fvwm version requires perl, which takes about 15 Megs (which is shared if you also tend to use other perl programs). I know that there are window managers that support tabs natively, but I'm not sure which ones. > A file manager, that isnt very resource hungry, but can connect to SMB > shares, and has a fairly useful interface. > The console ;-), but seriously. smb is usually handled by the system and not the file manager. You can use an automounter such as autofs to automatically mount/unmount smb shares, There are some daemons that should allow automatically showing removable storage, but I never used them (I also use autofs for that). There is rox-filer and dfm which are light desktop solution similar to what kde and gnome do. ytree which is text based, similar to the dos xtree. I used a few others but never caught on to anything so I don't remember, sorry. > Thanks again > > Ben > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
