If you want graphics - without x, try links2 - (patched[*1] or
hacked)[*2], or arachne[*3].
If it's just pure text, as opposed to a browser for a non-gui machine,
lynx is the best (IMHO).
[*3]I haven't used arachne in over a decade - but it was *very* good,
and I just noticed there is a Linux port. It doesn't support javascipt
or java (bonus?).
