The computers upon which I run Debian 6, have only 16 GB of RAM, and, expecially with Debian 6 not having adequate memory management (as previously mentioned, memory swapping does not work effectively), so, amongst other things (including the malware stuff like popups that browsers do not stop), I do not have enough resources, to allow javascript in all of my web browsers. I generally allow javascript in only one of my web browsers, and that is only for secure transactions, in what I reagrd as a relatively secure web browser. Unfortunately, too many web developers are so incompetent that thatey can not write decent web sites. A well written web site, does not need the malware that is javascript. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
