While Forrest mentioned some issues with KDE and Gnome slowness last week , I found KDE to work rather well in 64MB of RAM on a 200MHz K6-2 box. Though initial startup is a little slow, applications seem to start rather briskly. The rest of the Opera interface is rather complex in comparison, due to how it embeds secondary browser windows. But Konqueror works like Netscape by opening multiple top level windows for each new browser instance. Konqueror offers zoom features, but zooming in only appears to increase the size of some fonts.
Images are unaffected by the zoom operation.
The nicest thing about Konqueror is that the display is very crisp. It handles fonts better than Netscape. Still, the display of fonts appears much cleaner than the Netscape display. That's the good side. Now for the bad.
