using xvfb instead of a gui display

[Tom Fowle]

Hi Kirk ET all,
could someone provide a brief explanation for a not-really programmer
about
WB and CLIFOX
and/or where to find such info?

I too would be thrilled with a command line browser with java
I just ain't got it to learn orca and gnome GUI's are forced upon us,
not
desired!
