Using Text-Based Web Browsers
If you become a Linux administrator or power user, over time you will inevitably find yourself
working on a computer from a remote login or where there is no desktop GUI available. At some
point while you are in that state, you will want to check an HTML file or a Web page. To solve the
problem, many Linux distributions include several text-based Web browsers.
With text-based Web browsers, any HTML file available from the Web, your local file system, or a
computer where you??™re remotely logged in can be accessed from your shell. There??™s no need to fire
up your GUI or read pages of HTML markup if you just want to take a peek at the contents of a
Web page. In addition to enabling you to call up Web pages, move around with those pages, and
follow links to other pages, some of browsers even display graphics right in a Terminal window!
Which browser you use is a matter of which you are more comfortable with. Browsers that are
available include:
 links??”You can open a file or a URL, and then traverse links from the pages you open.
Use search forward (/string) and back (?string) features to find text strings in pages.
