Dillo in Ubuntu

If running Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux have taught me anything, it's the value of Dillo, the little Web browser that could. It loads wicked fast on my older systems, and while it doesn't do CSS or Java, what it does do -- display Web pages and the images on them -- it does quickly and well.

Dillo isn't part of the standard Add/Remove utility in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, but it is available in Synaptic. I installed it that way and then added it to the Applications menu in GNOME via the easily-found Alacarte Menu Mditor (Applications-Acccessories-Alacarte Menu Editor).

I'm going to do the same thing with mtPaint (which I don't even think is available via Synaptic, although there is a Debian package available to download.

Funny -- I could never figure out how to add things to the menus in XFCE, but with GNOME it's blissfully easy.

Settings/Menu Editor in XFCE 4.4.1. It also has the ability to add your KDE and Gnome menus, I believe.

Of course, Konqueror under KDE will do the same, WITH Javascript etc. ;)

One of the best things in KDE is its tight integration with Konqueror. That why I'm puzzled that Kubuntu ships with Firefox and Open Office rather than Konqueror and KOffice. I'm a major fan of Konqueror and KOffice.
