The link you gave has the two options I knew about.  Those will probably be your only options.  I was able to get a kdrive server running fairly easily under Ubuntu 8.10.  Just keep in mind that while it uses less RAM and loads faster, it is slower and has very little (if any) hardware acceleration.

I would suggest, though, that you use as many terminal apps as possible and even try out elinks, and save the heavy gui web browsing for just when you need it.  Also try out dillo web browser.  It doesn't support css or javascript, but it does show images and is really fast and light.  You may have to build it from source to turn tabs on, but there are guides out there that explain how to do it fairly easily.

dillo does not work with the most sites sad
In my system RAM is a real bottleneck, CPU is not.
So I'll try, thank you.

okay-okay, Xes are necessary thing for example for routine web-browsing etc. I am asking about lighter Xserver which can be installed over command-line ubuntu. For example there is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmallX alternative.

I've installed crunchbang onto my ancient laptop with 256M RAM on flash drive.
Openbox is really light thing, but I am wondering are there anybody who tried something lighter than heavy X.org x-server?
Puppy linux and knoppix offer some alternatives.
Thanks

I use Opera 9.64. It's stable and fast. Handles without any problem flash animation.

I am Siberian crunchbang admirer from taiga.
I tried to install linux to my ancient laptop (Samsung np-x06 CPU1.4GHz celeron-M RAM256Mb HDD40Gb, wifi, some sound card) on 16Gb flashdrive. After experiments with puppylinux and some slackware I’ve encountered crunchbang one. It's great!
Now I am trying to figure out how to replace heavy xorg Xserver with lighter Xs.
