    Yes, I have. Searching for mirrors to get an installation package of some sort or ISOs to set up virtual machines and downloading it directly to the server, for example. Don’t need USB, don’t need another PC or phone, just do it all on the same server you’re working on.

      Interesting that that is the workflow that works best for you. I’ve personally always found it a much better experience to do my searching/browsing off of the server and wget whatever I need to download. If that’s truly your situation, then you may just need to use another browser that supports JS or use a different search engine. I prefer DDG anyway, lol. Not a huge deal.

        I grew up on DOS. I am equally as comfortable doing practically everything in a terminal as I am in a graphical environment. I’m sure I’m not alone among other IT folks.

        I’ve been known to keep text based IRC clients or text based Tetris or some shit open on another virtual terminal for shits and giggles while I’m working an a different one, flipping back and forth between tasks. Just like a user on a multitasking graphical OS would do.
