Cool, but maybe not suitable for everyone due to...quote:

"Requirements:

  * AmigaOS 3.x (no worries for almost all users)
  * Picasso96 / CGX graphic card (problem for some)
  * 128 MB Ram (problem for many)
  * Equivalent of 100 Mhz 060 Cpu (problem for many, many) "

Still cool though :)

PZ.

On RiscOS (where the netsurf project started) the ram requirements are far, far low.
If on Amiga, it was a 100% native application, instead of a quick'n'dirty port from Linux, it would be far more agile.

Has anyone tried it on a machine with lesser specs than those listed?

I'd be interested to know if it works at all "under-spec" (however badly), or if the software simply won't install/work based on hardware requirements.

PZ.


On RiscOS it requires at least a mere 16 MB Ram.
On amiga it's more heavyweight because of the use of ixemul library and because of the fact that it is not native.
