Browsing Via Command Line

Try something different. Unusual browsing, without Firefox, without Konqueror, without Opera, just Lynx.
Browsing via Konsole

What is Lynx? Alien airplane? No!! Lynx is not UFO, Lynx manual describe : Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100 terminals, vt100 emulators running on Windows 95/NT or Macintoshes, or any other "curses-oriented" display). It will display hypertext markup language (HTML) documents containing links to files residing on the local system, as well as files residing on remote systems running Gopher, HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers.

So, if you have GUI why surfing the net from horrible black-white Terminal? First, Terminal is not horrible. Second, because we can.
