Slitaz Revisited
Greg Erskine:
If you are planning to run a web server to process the pages BusyBox's httpd works well for this.
What about installations without Xwindows?
What about headless installations?
For piCorePlayer, we have used BusyBox's httpd and sh cgi scripts (not bash) to generate a web interface for configuration and diagnostics. For those without a network we made a whiptail setup script.
Here's an example of what we were discussing in the ssh thread. This copies my www development to other RPi's on the network if passwordless ssh access is available.
PDP-8:
Well, I know that Dillo looks fine with xvesa or xfbdev as long as you use good fonts, and tweak your .dillorc a little. Dillo also works with ttf fonts if that capability has been compiled into it.
The quick hit for new users not familiar with dillorc, but just want to change overall size super quick is to merely change the scaling factor. Still, this is not how most browser users are accustomed to dialing in their browser with an rc file. :)
AntiX uses it for on-board faq/docs in addition to their main browser. Still, end users might tap into the scaling factor in the rc file if they can't read the dinky fonts on high-res monitors... different forum so I'll stop here on that.
Currently at 3.0.5 for many years now, but one of our member recently submitted the 3.1-beta, which has also been out for many years, but usually not seen in any distro repos. So thanks to our TC member who submitted that beta.
But I can't say if this would fit the purpose for general population use - I'm not a big html programmer, other than just the simple stuff.
Slitaz on RPI: About 6 years ago, they released for rpi's, and development stopped and I haven't actually run it. Might be interesting to see if they incorporated the tazpanel in that -- still downloadable about half way down this page:

Not sure if they were using bb httpd, or lighttpd. Anyway, maybe some forgotten nuggets in that...

Hello
Slitaz is bizarre, in that the desktop does not contain
a web browser app by defualt
i mean Tinycore is the same issue.......
These types of OS's manifest themselves as www oriented
nomadic browsers for booting off pens and things.....
(but no web browser on the default desktop?)
thx
