Lynx:
Lynx is a console web browser. Very simple and easy to use, just press and type a URL to go to that URL. press d to download the target. But the downfall is that it doesn’t show images ( because it’s console-based ) and therefore some websites ( e.g. facebook ) do not support it.
An email client. Yes, that’s right, a console-based email client. You can setup IMAP and POP access to your favorite mail service provider.
SSH:
With SSH service you can connect remotely to other SSH-enabled computers ( e.g. linux system ) very securely. In terminal, just type: ‘$ ssh -l login host’ while ‘login’ is the remote login/username and ‘host’ is the IP address or host computer address.
