To browse the wealth of information on the Web, just pick one, install, and wander off to explore the wonders of the Web. Lynx will display the text of a page without any images or fancy fonts. It only requires the keyboard arrow keys for navigation. This simplicity makes it fast and flexible. Lynx uses the VT100 protocol, so people without access to X Windows can still use lynx, including users logging in to a Linux system remotely.
Lynx is miserly with disk space and memory.
It will only take up 320K of disk and consume about 620K of RAM while running. This makes lynx perfect for 4MB Linux workstations. Lynx is not as common as Mosaic, however. This is primarily because lynx doesn't support the colorful images and different fonts that make the Web so expressive. For these, Mosaic or some other graphical browser is required to experience the full richness of the Web.
