Check out links - it does tables and frames, and handles downloads infinity better than lynx. > # File manager: mc, > # Games: Cowsay! Endless hours of ASCII entertainment.

At it's highest compression setting, rar is noticeably better than gzip and bzip. The two downsides are that it's proprietary and that it doesn't preserve file permissions. It's freely available, though, and tar takes care of permissions. > # PDF creation: gs? OpenOffice uses the following: "/usr/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="(OUTFILE)" -" I honestly can't see a need for that from the command line, though - if you're using docbook or doxygen, that'll do it for you, but making a pdf of something you wrote in vim is a bit of an overkill. Also, ps2pdf will work. > # txt2html: > # Term: eterm > # Partitioning: cfdisk > # System info: lhinv, procinfo, lsof, > # CD writing: cdrtools, burncenter > # Gentoo: ufed, mirrorselect, portage, gentoo-stats, gentoolkit > # Others: screen -- Alec Berryman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key DFB366F2
