What I need to do is to use the graphical browsers such as firefox. The text mode ones are good enough only for some limited web browsing. However, if you go to any radio station site, or go to
or go to any site that uses javascript or any kind of fancy new eye-candy for its core functionality, you're in for trouble.
What I was trying to do is to get twin to work, then use the firefox that comes with the grml 2008.11 version to see if I can get on line that way. If so, I was only going to use twin so that I could get on line with a sufficiently powerful browser to overcome all the scripting and java applet problems.
Maybe a lightweight window manager like openbox would suit your needs... there is only a desktop menu (by default) that is easily edited using obmenu and openbox itself is easily configured using obconf if you want to change basic behavior or themes. In fact if you don't care for using the utilities, the default menu has a web browser and terminal right at the top of the menu.
Hope that helps...
