Lynx
Posted by Jim at March 11th, 2004
One of the hazards of Linux is that bad stuff sometimes happens when you upgrade.
For example, I’m currently typing this from Lynx due to the fact that XFree86, the gui for Linux, no longer works because my configuration file was destroyed.
This is more bearable that I’d have expected, but there’s much to be said for gui’s. For example, as I’m typing this, I can’t see the entire line I’ve typed, making it hard to tell what I’ve written.
Seriously folks, I’ve got to get a Mac one of these days…
“Links” is a text based web browser that is everything Lynx should be but isn’t. It handles SSL, tables, frames, and if you compile for it, it has a GUI. Give it a shot.

That looks interesting.
I’ve often thought that Lynx should be upgraded to what that program appears to be.
I will check it out. That being said, getting X to work decently again is higher priority for the moment…
