I agree with Gordon. Something is seriously wrong with your machine
if Mozilla is slow. I've noticed that Mozilla is faster onthe Linux
side of my box than Opera in either Windoze or Linux. Now to attempt
to be helpful. you need a speed browser:Lynx. other browsers, Opera,
Konqueror, Galion, etc. You do have choices. You know that there
are a ton of Distributions out there. Try more than one. Make
backups of the critical stuff and install several versions. Don't
quit after 2 or 3. I know something is wrong with my machine, but
Libranet installed quickly and intuitively, and it has tons of goodies
on a 2 disk set. In addition, it addresses the whole apt thing. I
can chose from several package managers (based on apt-get) and never
bring up a terminal
