I'd get mozilla Firefox - there's a good chance that your distribution
allready has one though, go to a terminal and type 'mozilla' or
'netscape'. What distribution are you using?

Pfft, like anyone's actually going to wget a website and then view its
source in vi, godddddddds sake at least a command-line option would have
been "links" or something, not wget that's just freaking crap and you
know it :)

get over yourself Max, if you're the kind of boy that uses wget to check
his web-mail, surf the web or whatever then you have problems.
