I think that's the whole point of Lynx. Being text-only is a strength for
people like me. 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.

Cheers
Greg
