Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy! -P.

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 “XAP” series, as +well as text mode browsers in the “N” 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.

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>.

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> + +<div class="FIGURE"><a id="FIG-BASIC-NETWORK-COMMANDS-WEB-LINKS" +name="FIG-BASIC-NETWORK-COMMANDS-WEB-LINKS"></a> +<p><b>Figure 13-6.
