if you have a reasonably fast connection and another machine already runni=
ng what you want, vnc over ssh is a good compromise that works just as well=
 regardless of terminal architecture, even if you only tls booted off a usb=
 thumb drive=2E

vmx running openbsd works pretty well for me, but the big browsers slow to=
 a crawl=2E

mothra is sufficient for a lot, but of course it has no support for javasc=
ript or css=2E

can netsurf display images yet?
