Chapter 22 . E-Mailing and Web Browsing 613 (for example, cat index.html | w3m -T text/html). Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to page through a document. Press Enter on a link to go to that link. Press B to go back to the previous link. Search forward and back for text using the / (slash) and ? (question mark) keys, respectively. The w3m seems the most sophisticated of these browsers. It features a nice default font selection and seems to handle frames neatly; its use of colors also makes it easy to use. The links browser lets you use the mouse to cut and paste text. You can start any of these text-based Web browsers by entering a filename, or if you have an active connection to the network, a Web address as an option to the command name. For example, to read the w3m documentation (which is in HTML format) with a w3m browser, type the following from a Terminal window or other shell interface: $ w3m /usr/share/doc/w3m*/MANUAL.html An HTML version of the W3M Manual is displayed. Or you can give w3m a URL to a Web page, such as the following: $ w3m www.handsonhistory.com After a page is open, you can begin viewing the page and moving around to links included in it. Start by using the arrow keys to move around and select links. Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to page through text. Running the Firefox Web Browser Firefox is the latest Web browser from Mozilla.org and is intended to set a new direction and standard for Web browsers. Although Firefox was only recently upgraded to a 1.0 version (indicating the first official release), it is already the default Web browser for Fedora and other Linux systems. Firefox is being touted as the premier alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. So, besides being included with Linux systems, millions of copies have been downloaded for use on Windows systems. The Mozilla Project even gives help and encouragement in making the switch from Internet Explorer on the Mozilla.org Web site (www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/switch). Firefox contains the same rendering engine (gecko) that comes in Mozilla Navigator, but the user interface and many security features are brand new. Firefox also features faster performance and can run in less memory. Because it doesn t include all the mail, news, IRC, and similar clients (those are available separately from Mozilla), it should load and launch faster than Mozilla Navigator. If you are using applications other than Mozilla to provide those features, Firefox might be for you.
