Ha! Forgot about netsurf, so I just downloaded it here at work on the Mac. Check out my bloat: Firefox - 562MB, netsurf - 10MB

Following machinebacon suggestion, I went with this, replacing Trolling. Lighter and faster, I love it. Can't dist-upgrade though, X gets messed up and won't load anymore. But I can wait for a fix on the next upgrade. Great spin, really.

^ The fucked up X is not our fault - its upstream: http://release.debian.org/transitions/h ... r1.14.html

Thanks.

yes, I know it's not your fault. In fact I'm not upgrading my Elektra either. ;)

This one is really great. Universal Media Server with all its java and mediainfo bloat is running fine on it.
I finally got my wife and brother-in-law using it for a while. They usually use Ubuntu and CrunchBang, but Coal impressed them a lot. Again, very good work on this one guys.
