Nothing new that I know of.  Baslinux does not support any 
javascript-capable graphical browser that I know of newer than Opera 9.64 
so I have switched to Puppy Linux.

I failed to compile a 2.6 kernel. The 2.4 kernels would not support SATA 
drives, found in newer computers.

Puppy is far too automated for my taste but works on older hardware.  The 
Wary version worked on an 800MHz Toshiba from 2001 (newer versions could 
not handle the video).  Pulp (puppy 4.1.2 based) will go online with 96MB 
RAM and Opera 12 if you update glibc.
