A bit of care an feeding for
susan.marshlabs.gaertner.de, my main X11 Terminal.
Susan was bought for 15 EUR on ebay and runs an
old Firefox locally. There are some drawbacks:
JavaScript/Java code will run slow and often run into time-outs; this can best be dealt with by disabling js/java altogether :-)
Essentially no current SSL site will be covered by a root certificate in Firefox's CA store anymore, requiring me to ack any site cert individually.
So this night downloaded a batch of current root certs to
miles and added the first NFS-mount on
susan. This turned out to be easy-peasy -- instant
success.
This will also help to get better unicode fonts. The ones
present on susan have just too many holes.
Alexis, the Olinuxino A20 ARM board just a few feet
nearby, should by able to provide some vastly better fonts from its
SD card.
