It’s pretty sweet…for text based web surfing.

Just came across your site. I have a problem, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 with Studio 9.10 and I can tell you that I am more than happy with the outcome. Only problem is that Firefox wont allow me to load or access any site where I have to log in. So I can access bbc.co.uk but I cant access my gmail or facebook or twitter. You get the picture? Anyway I know its something that needs to be checked or ticked or switched but I dont know what it is. So if you could help, please let me know.

Thanks

Hamish

I have yet to try out Links2. I will test it out and see how it fares against the others.

I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay at MakeUseOf.

While they each have their own weak points, I’m finding that they’re *more* useful than Firefox for things like rapidly looking into something, as they render sites much faster without the random resource-gobbling issues.

In any event, thanks for another great article. I’m very grateful that switching to Linux a year ago hasn’t meant losing MakeUseOf as my #1 resource for finding the best offline & web-based apps!

However I’ve been stuck to Safari on my Windows. So I really hope they will come out with a Linux version.

Got frustrated, in fact I blogged about same Where is user friendliness?

Looks like you have done a lot of research.

Thanks,

Run it in a VT (outside of X) with framebuffer enabled, and you can still see images!
