I've set up FBSD as a server for a LAN. I do almost all of my websurfing through graphical browser like Netscape running on various machines in the LAN. The server almost never gets touched, it just sits there serving. It doesn't even have X installed. So, on those rare occasions when I do need to browse something from the server (or from a telnet window connected to the server), then Lynx is the way to go. And it is very fast.
