+name="BASIC-NETWORK-COMMANDS-WEB">13.8 Browsers</a></h1>
+
+<p>The first thing that people think about when they hear the word Internet is
+&#8220;surfing the net&#8221;. Or looking at websites using a web browser. This is
+probably by far the most popular use of the Internet for the average user.</p>
+
+<p>Slackware provides popular graphical web browsers in the &#8220;XAP&#8221; series, as
+well as text mode browsers in the &#8220;N&#8221; series. We'll take a quick look at some
+of the most common options below.</p>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4776" name="AEN4776">13.8.1 <tt
+class="COMMAND">lynx</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>(1) is a text-based web browser. It is a very quick way
+of looking up something on the Internet. Sometimes graphics just get in the way if you
+know exactly what you're after.</p>
+
+<p>To start <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>, just type <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> at the
+prompt:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">lynx</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<div class="FIGURE"><a id="FIG-BASIC-NETWORK-COMMANDS-WEB-LYNX"
+name="FIG-BASIC-NETWORK-COMMANDS-WEB-LYNX"></a>
+<p><b>Figure 13-5. Lynx default start page</b></p>
+
+<p><img src="basic-network-commands/lynx.png" /></p>
+</div>
+
+<p>You may want to specify a site for <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> to open to:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">lynx http://www.slackware.com</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> prints the command keys and what they do at the bottom
+of the screen. The up and down arrow keys move around the document, <kbd
+class="USERINPUT">Enter</kbd> selects the highlighted link, and the <kbd
+class="USERINPUT">left arrow</kbd> goes back to the previous page. Typing <kbd
+class="USERINPUT">d</kbd> will download the currently selected file. The <kbd
+class="USERINPUT">g</kbd> command brings up the Go prompt, where you can give <tt
+class="COMMAND">lynx</tt> a URL to open.</p>
+
+<p>There are many other commands in <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>. You can either consult
+the man page, or type <kbd class="USERINPUT">h</kbd> to get the help screen for more
+information.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4813" name="AEN4813">13.8.2 <tt
+class="COMMAND">links</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p>Just like <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">links</tt> is a textmode
+web browser, where you do all the navigation using the keyboard. However, when you press
+the <kbd class="USERINPUT">Esc</kbd> key, it will activate a very convenient pulldown
+menu on the top of the screen. This makes it very easy to use, without having to learn
+all the keyboard shortcuts. People who do not use a text browser every day will
+appreciate this feature.</p>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">links</tt> seems to have better support for both frames and
+tables, when compared to <tt class="COMMAND">lynx</tt>.</p>

+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4831" name="AEN4831">13.8.3 <tt
+class="COMMAND">wget</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt>(1) is a command line utility that will download files
+from a specified URL. While not an actual web-browser, <tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> is
+used primarily to grab whole or partial web sites for offline viewing, or for fast
+download of single files from HTTP or FTP servers instead. The basic syntax is:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">wget &lt;url&gt;</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>You can also pass options. For example, this will download the Slackware web site:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd
+class="USERINPUT">wget --recursive http://www.slackware.com</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> will create a <tt
+class="FILENAME">www.slackware.com</tt> directory and store the files in there, just as
+the site does.</p>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">wget</tt> can also download files from FTP sites; just specify an
+FTP URL instead of an HTTP one.</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
