If you think the only way to browse the internet is in the Graphical environment of the x-server than your going to be surprised by w3m.  As a command line browser w3m gives you the ability to browse the internet for the solution when your graphical environment is down.  It may also just be a faster browser option on an older slower machine.  It is definitly worth a look.  I personally was surprised by the features.
