Above are excellent recommendation;however, if you are inclined to minimalist...

elinks (with graphic support), dillo, w3m (if you are emacs user, you can do
tabbed browsing within emacs, no graphics of course)

If Sun did not only did buy drivers from SCO but also 'lkp', then
the next Solaris x86 could have a speedy 99.99% Linux emulation
that would allow to run any (even X) binary that does not depend on
specific driver interfaces.

Does somebody know whether Sun did also buy lkp?

Did they? I've not heard of this. What did they buy?

What about the existing Lunix emulator for Solaris x86?

Would they buy the source or the binary? Might also need a
SCO emulator for the latter.

It is only 50% of the native speed because syscalls are emulated in user space
by using a signal handler for bad trap and it does not work with local
X-connections.
