Pretty much, it's the mozilla rendering engine with a gnome interface.

http://galeon.sourceforge.net/manifesto/

On the mac the equivalent project is Chimera, and on windows there is 
K-Meleon. The only windows machine I use is a 2ghz p4, so regular 
mozilla seems to be fast enough, and K-Meleon was a bit buggy the last 
time I tried it about 9 months ago. It's probably much better now. 
Chimera is fast, but lacks a lot of features...

K-Meleon: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/
Chimera: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/chimera/

Another good project to look at that I haven't tried yet is Pheonix.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/

"Phoenix is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to 
Galeon, K-Meleon and Chimera, but written using the XUL user interface 
language and designed to be cross-platform."

I havn't used it yet, and the only problem I have with it, is they 
won't work on it for the mac since they say chimera all ready fills 
that need, which is stupid IMO. They shouldn't work on it for windows 
because of kmeleon, or linux because of galeon either. It's supposed to 
be pretty good though. They follow the latest mozilla trunk, but try to 
keep it very small and fast.

Oh I just found this: http://www.kmgerich.com/misc.html "This is a Mac 
OS X build of Phoenix based on version 0.5. It's not a straight build, 
it's more like "Phoenix and stuff". " Neat, gotta go play with that.
