I also like having a text-based web browser on a server, as others have said, for reading documentation (especially when the server is offline and you're trying to get it back online....) and for local web admin tasks. Space constraints don't seem that big an issue on the server CD. And I'd like to consider continuing having it on the server default install. I think the issues are more around security and support and choice. w3m is the default now, should that change? Are there significant security risks to text browsing? Should elinks take is place (noting that comment about accessibility recommendations?) But elinks has more dependencies, right? Detailing the fully-installed footprint delta for each choice would help, and knowing security exposures and considering features etc. Neal McBurnett http://mcburnett.org/neal/ -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
