    Re: Lightest web browser?

    links2 -g

    technically not graphical, but with the -g option it does images and uses it's own window under X, and it can also use the framebuffer for the same thing in the console.

    best non-graphical: wget

    But links2 -g doesn't have JS.
    wget? LOL, I've used that before. It's hard, but sometimes it's all you have

    Kind of what I was thinking.

    But if he could have it display the weather, sports scores, latest headlines, etc it might be worth it.

    Kazehakaze gets my vote as well. Dillo is lighter, but it doesn't have support for JavaScript, which was listed as being required,

    ah, missed the bit about JS. Kazehakaze then, definitely. Just don't use the version from the feisty repos, it has a bug with form submission. Use gutsy's or build from source.

    links2 -g is still danged impressive though

    EDIT: hm, links2 has an -enable-javascript option

    Ah no it is a file server, having it to display time and other stuff as well as serving files, is going to cost less to go buy a separate clock and stuff.
