Unless I'm directly ordered not to, I make it a point to put GNU/Linux or *BSD on any servers that I stand up. I tend to run my servers with no X11 running whenever practicable.
Sometimes I need to download some source code and compile it, and the FTP site, if there's one at all, is already maxed out on connections. I simply fire up Lynx and download my source code. It works in CLI environments, is fast, and gets the job done.
And yep, I've been known to use Links to do the same stuff when Lynx was not installed. They both work well for my needs, and I'll happily use either. I simply have been using Lynx for longer (and again, it does what I need), so I usually run that one first simply out of habit.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
