Ubuntu Server 9.04 Linux Distribution Default Browser
I got an SVOA Warrior C2D 29300A computer CPU as replacement for my crashed old computer. I have installed Ubuntu Server 9.04 Linux on a breeze, but I still need to update some files from the Internet. I am behind some monitored network which requires authentication to browse the Internet. To get pass through this authentication, I must use a web browser.
I remember “lynx” as a text based browser for Linux, but it seems not installed in Ubuntu Server 9.04. I tried to use “wget” to authenticate, but still could not access the Internet. Well, to my relief, I found that Ubuntu have a different default browser; it’s called “w3m”. Using it is pretty simple. Just type w3m followed by the URL to be opened.
Sample usage of w3m web browser:
user@techxplore:~$ w3m www.google.com
