Lets see, I bought my Pac Mate maybe 4 years ago. So its been that long since I use the linux CLI as my main mobile interface. But it sounds like nothing has changed. Well, there's no more pine. Its been converted to alpine. I guess it was unrealistic to expect someone to come back and say that there is a web browser just like firefox only for the CLI. PS: Just to be clear, I'm not using an actual Raspberry Pie. I have something similar manufactured by a company called Soekris. It costs about 8 times as much as a Raspberry Pie, is about 4 times the size, and doesn't have nearly the features. Other than that its just the same. Runs the debian CLI real nice though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Reiser" <kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 11:25 AM Subject: Re: best cli web browser & email programs > Both alpine and mutt are good mail solutions.
