Dillo is ***ideal*** for one thing: I sit in the UK at an Xwindows client, dillo runs on a Xwindows server in the US. I can do this with any Xwindows program, of course. The problem is, the bigger and more sophisticated the program, the more troublesome working with it (I guess, the creators of Xwindows never had this issue of running very sophisticated GUIs over very long distances in mind). Running Firefox remotely takes ages. Some browsing jobs really need a graphical browser, and Dillo gives me what I need, even though it is somewhat limited.
