Hi, I have been using ubuntu for last 2 days and I have got to say I am in love with it. Re-lives the excitement of using computers in me to the point of abandoning windows :). Out of curiosity , I would to know is it possible to browse the internet in terminal? Thanks in advance , you guys did a great job.

Try links2

sudo apt-get install links2then

links2If I remember currect CTRL+G lets you type in URL :)

Edit:
You could also try lynx

sudo apt-get install lynx

Then:

lynx

To read about how to use the browsers or any other app just type

man <appname>

In this case:

man lynx
and

man links2
