	I got (a while ago, before Xmas?) one of the beta versions. Some
of the icons weren't even in (so to go back a page, you had to suss out
what the black void in the buttonbar stood there for...). On the whole,
I found that it was
(i) Extremely fast (miles fast than galeon on my system. In fact, I
think galeon is a grudge: it ain't that fast, and it has all of
mozilla's problems showing up all the time).
(ii) Very robust as compared with Galeon. It never crashed on me.
However, I can't remember what glibc I had installed.

	I think galeon was quite slow. However, this could be due to the
way Gecko and galeon were compiled, with major debugging and what have
you. All in all, latest galeon's have some nice features, however
un-installable in debian.
