But it does bomb&amp;#x2F;hard freeze a lot. Especially with network activity (one AppleTalk glitch and the whole thing just freezes up)&lt;p&gt;One of the main issues in actually using it is that the adoption of HTTPS and deprecation of old encryption methods has made all the browsers available (including Classzilla) completely useless. My solution has been to install Firefox in a VM on my NAS and connect to that through VNC or an X11 client (former is zippier, but the latter makes it feel more native)</text></comment>
