I had a very easy time with Lynx 2.8, builing it from the sources.
Although I believe it is also available as a package now too. Lynx is a
text-only browser. No pictures, just quick.
On the GUI end, there is Mosaic. Also available as a package (has a number
of dependencies though). Slower, especially in launching.
Overall, I tend to user Lynx more, although it does fall a little short in
the case of pages that are extremely graphic oriented and offer nothing in
the way of <alt> tags or client-side image maps.
But that's the designer's fault, right? :-)
