no flash, images, poorly thought out colour codes to get in the way of content. If content is restricted based on ip, ie for downloading academic papers you can still access them via ssh. Sessions can be regularly saved automatically to maintain those always used and last open pages. It doesn't crash as often as graphical browsers, doesn't take an age to load/move tabs compared to graphical browsers if the computer in under load. You can browse if you have hosed your X and need to find out how to fix it. You join the ranks of super-geek :P _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
