I posted this on another thread too.  I am a "Dillo if it works, Firefox otherwise person".

But when I am at home I SSH into my linux box and run firefox remotely.  It perfoms much better and takes a lot less memory.

So you use X11 over SSH to run Firefox. Cool. I've used X11 over SSH the other way but hadn't thought of doing it the way your doing. Thanks.

yeah. I run a freenx server on my server at home ( a low watt 800mhz c3/ Debian Sarge) I can get a gui and use it over nx for pretty much the same amount of data as web surfing, though obviously the two look a bit different on iptraf.

AFAIK we have not got a zaurus pdaxrom client.  Last I checked the only client around was for Old OZ (like 3.3.6) on a 5500.
 there were some attempts that didn't really get much interest of follow-through over the past year or so. I guess either it was too difficult of people didn't see the point.

If you haven't played with it, give it a whirl on the desktop and monitor your traffic. I did and I was impressed.

This is a whole lot friendlier to cafe/work/other peoples connections than either vnc or a really compressed  X over SSH. Not as tiny as text mode, of course. It would be a really welcome option on the Z, I think

I second that. I have a NX server at home too (the latest NX server, not the freenx release), and a NXclient Java applet embedded in a web page, so all I need to do is visit that page from any computer and I'm home. It works really well, better than tightVNC.
A NX client would be a good way to have access to a fast, full-fledged web browser from the Z, plus it would allow to do a lot more than the Z on its own (e.g. handle really big files with the Gimp, manage your P2P, etc).

There is a Qt package too, but it's for Zaurus 5xxx.
