Sorry your highness, for not remembering.

If disk space is the problem have you tried to use Opera?

And if performance is a problem you should chuck any RedHat distribution and
go with Slackware. There you will also have the flexibility to install any
window manager you feel like.

I use fvwm2 myself and glibc-2.2 from Slackware 8.1 on an AMD K6-2 machine as
my terminal, so I am not sure it is because you have limited machine power but
perhaps haven't investigated your possibilities right?

Or do I sense that someone going with RedHat since then aren't up to such a
task?

You are right, those are on the heavy side, but take a look at Opera.

Oh, you are wrong on that one, X is being developed pretty heavily, but it 
isn't anymore the Open Group that does it, it is XFree86. Take a look at:

  http://www.xfree86.org/

And you might be surprised.

And your analogy is wrong because there isn't anything that replaces X well, 
but there is a _lot_ that will replace the Netscape 4.* browser.
