You have to think when they use lynx. No one in their right mind will use x-windows on a busy server, which is needed for one of gui browsers, but they can lynx and not interfere. You also might time how long it takes for a MS web page to come up and then measure how long it takes for www.freebsd.org. People researching a problem on a production server don't want to see fluffy stuff but want to get to something they think is important in a hurry.
