Getting to the internet

Hi All,

   I'm new to the list and while I'm a professional programmer working on a
mainframe, I am ignorant of Lynux and so forth (by the way, first, what is
the correct pronunciation of lynux, please?).

   Next, I hope to purchase a personal-use PC next year, installing lynx on
it. I know my first decision will be to select which brand(?) of lynx to
use; but, looking ahead beyond that point, I'm wondering how would I connect
to the internet. Would it be a matter of finding an ISP which accepts lynx
users and simply using its browser?

   And, also, I know web sites are accessed by domain names but how would a
lynux user access the same site? or can you? would I use an IP address
instead?

Thanks,

Walt
