You'll forget lynx, elink or w3m the moment you start using NetSurf. It's much more sophisticated.
As to the former part of your comment, I should state that as far as I'm concerned there are only two NetSurf frontends for Unix-like systems (GTK and Framebuffer) and the article is just about Framebuffer version.
- jrockway 16y agoYou'll forget lynx, elink or w3m the moment you start using NetSurf. So the situation is, I don't have X, but I do have a mouse attached? That happens a lot...

- angusgr 16y agoMate, I can see that you really like this software. Which is great. It looks like a really neat project. However, there's no need to be this defensive or rude. The criticisms are mild, but they are valid and they appear to be correct. Every project has some shortcomings, and everyone makes some mistakes. They're not personal or fundamental criticisms, and nearly everyone here (myself included) seems to see value in the software.
- Randy00 16y agoSorry about that glib comment, I deleted it.
- teach 16y agoSo, let's say that I'm ssh'ed into a headless Linux box (my linode). How can I run NetSurf? I spend most of my day ssh'ed into one box or another, writing code in vim, so being able to run NetSurf would be a huge improvement over links, which is what I currently use.
- gnosis 16y agoYou won't be able to use the framebuffer on a machine that doesn't have a monitor attached to it. So the framebuffer version of NetSurf won't work. You could, instead, try ssh's X forwarding feature or maybe use something like VNC to display X applications on you local machine. Then you could run any browser that uses X.
