When I was hacking on W-system, I analyzed its code for HTML widget - it's not that complicated as long as you don't display frames and aligned images. It would require a person with enough motivation to write a curses-based browser which would support only basic tags... it's simply so tedious work. > Just out of curiousity, is picoBSD drifting towards the server market? As you probably know, there were two main versions of PicoBSD from the very beginning - one targeted at personal usage, and the second one which could be a simple server/router. So, it's nothing new...
