Slitaz Revisited

<< < (3/5) > >>

patrikg:
Don't start a war with that the os don't have any web browser as default.
You know that with the history, M$ Internet Explorer and Netscape.

So let "us" = user choose what web browser they want to be in the os.
Let the user download the web browser with some program.
In "Windows Server" now you can do that
with two programs, PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest and then you could use
the program called curl (now M$ is including that in there operating systems).
Ohh a forgot that in "Windows Client" you also have WinGet.

Hi vinceASPECT

Slitaz is bizarre, in that the desktop does not contain
a web browser app by defualt

i mean Tinycore is the same issue.......
--- End quote ---
Tinycore also does not include music players, video players, spreadsheets, fancy editors,
image viewers, calculators, and a lot of other things by default. This is intentional.
The basic philosophy behind Tinycore is that it starts with a small base install that you can
then expand to include the apps you want.

There is no point in including a web browser. No matter which one you include, it will be the
wrong one because there will always be people unhappy with your choice.

gadget42:
lynx?

vinceASPECT:
ok thanks.

that makes sense somehow  (Lynx)

OK Patrick, i didn't know MS had those tools  to grab some files off
the web

likely tinycore has something too?......wget?  (or just it's app browser)

patrikg:
I also forget to say, that windows also has the old ftp command line program to get some files from the web.

But nowadays we don't use the ftp protocol/command because of lack of security.
And the protocol uses some tcp/ip port's that have trouble with our network setup(NAT), if you don't use the passive option.

Because the ftp protocol has both "command port" and "data port".
