Hi All,

Yes, I agree with you about Galeon. And, That's the reason I used it 
instead of vanilla Mozilla. Though, I did get a little fast/smooth 
scrolling/browsing experience in Galeon but, U should try Phoenix. I 
think the most difference is visible on slower machines.....maybe like 
mine (Compaq 12XL125 laptop, AMD K6-II 533Mhz, 192Mb RAM 8 Mb Shared 
VRAM, 30Gb HDD)

Try sites like msn.com, home.netscape.com, deskmod.org and see the 
smooth scrolling for yourself.

I am also pretty much frustrated with Mozilla Messenger's startup time 
and overall responsiveness and looking forward for their similar 
standalone mail-client code-named "ThunderBird".

I by the way am using Mozilla (and/or it's variations) because I 
sometimes boot in my Win2K partiion and use the same shared mozilla 
profile for browsing and mail ;) If you can think of a better way to do 
this using other clients, then I would be very happy to know about it.

Cheers,

P.S: I have been trying to compile garnome since 0.17 for a long time 
and it fails. I will write a separate email describing that. Altough, In 
the past I have successfully compiled and used Garnome till 0.14

Failure is the foundation of truth. It teaches us what isn't true, and that is a great beginning. To fear failure is to fear the possibility of truth.
