  21. Netscape, that's seen as the KILLER application by the whole industry.
  22. Unfortunately, that requires X, and since both programs like to have
  23. 5 MB each, and more, you won't like it with 8 MB. You can forget about
  24. that with 4 MB. But you need 16 MB for serious X stuff without making
  25. your system crawl. I'd recommend 32 MB myself.
