Just wanted to show that it looks decent even in a purely text environment.

The above is taken from me using Putty to SSH into a friends server. (http://www.syi.cc) I found Links when thinking about installing Gentoo (if you download it acts as a live cd before you go to install it, and you can use some of its features off of the cd, (well most Terminal based ones). I never got around to installing gentoo tho because i realized it would take awhile for me to sit down and do it and i havnt had the time. I will eventually tho. (the only other linux distro i have used as a desktop is ubuntu). Anyway i was editing a file in SSH when it occured to me i should install links on the server incase i ever want to test something in a text based browser smile. Took me about 5 mins to install if that. (including wgetting the stuff over).

With Putty? You need to have SSH access, most hosts dont allow it, tho some do.

If your familiar with windows, its the Unix version of DOS, only more powerful. on *nix, if you can do it with a GUI its probably 10x faster to do it via terminal (ssh). use google to learn more about it smile

Well, I'm trying to get Lynx working, but the compiling is a bit of a problem, since the gcc commands doesn't seem to exist in XP... X(

Or you could just use Opera which has a text viewer built in along with a bunch of other emulations including Opera handheld.
