I agree. I have an old Pentium 233 laptop with 64 MB of RAM. I run OpenBSD, boot into a light-weight desktop (openbox, blackbox, etc) and run "links -g &" from a terminal. Very fast, stable, secure and mouse-friendly with pretty pictures! It is my late-night, falling asleep computer. Of course, during the day I run 64-bit Ubuntu with Firefox and all my favorite extensions!
