I'm pretty happy using FVWM2 as window manager and xterm+pine for reading
mail and mozilla for browsing (it doesn't even use much of a swap).
Mozilla is a bit slow, but not to the point of being a problem. The only
reason why I actually want a new Mozilla is because the version I have
keeps crashing every couple of days (and in most cases, right in the
middle of lengthy posting I write to some forum or blog, so that it really
manages to piss me off).
So one doesn't have to use memory- and CPU-hungry programs, indeed. The
only problem is that most of new distributions are configured to use them
by default in many places (and it's generally right thing to do , just not
the right thing for me).
