Applications

 

I wanted to give the project info about three apps I've looked at and used.

Basic information: I used Lubuntu 14.04 default install 32 bit in VM...done before Israel pushed out the ToriOS vdi.

I looked at Firefox, Qupzilla, Qpdfview, Zathura, and Evince(Document Viewer).

All RAM usage reported includes the Task Manager running.

Qupzilla approx. 14MB install and Firefox is approx. 85MB installed

Qupzilla at idle uses approx. 50MB and Firefox( no addons) uses approx. 56MB of RAM

Qupzilla is faster and just as stable as Firefox, although the occasional page will not load properly.


Document Apps:

Zathura is approx. 8776kB installed, Qpdfview is approx. 2.8MB installed, and Evince(Document Viewer) is approx. 1.2MB installed. As I moderately skilled end-user I found Zathura unusable. Of Qpdfview and Document Viewer, I found Document Viewer to be usable, stable, smaller in install size, and at a RAM usage of 12 MB not too bad.

I prefer Qupzilla as a browser and Document Viewer for document handling.

Apologies for the long email.

Best
David
