Now this is something I didn't know and probably many of you.
Just read this great article about some Finnish students that made the world's first graphical browser for X Window System!

I don't think that Tim Berners-Lee's browser was point and click. HTML was pretty much all about text.

well this Finnish browser had point and click and page search and even an crawler to search text on other pages when not found in the displayed page.

Way Too Much Ubuntu
Hmm, it wasnt HTML, but a similar capable Hypertext-viewer (ie. a "graphical browser" but having a different syntax than HTML) is AmigaGuide, released in 1992 aswell as part of the Amiga Operating system 2.1.
Dipped in Ubuntu
It doesn't mean it was made in or even for Linux just because it uses X.

if you read the article, it says at least they had a relation with Linux.

I was just stating that just because it's X it doesn't mean it's Linux.if you read the article, it says at least they had a relation with Linux.

The whole concept of Hypertext was pioneered by a Macintosh program called Hypercard, which was a GUI program written in the 1980s. It's not a web browser, but it was the inspiration for both Hypertext and Wikis.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
