Steve,
Any version 1.0 or 2.0 Links can be compiled with graphics.
It can also be compiled to run graphics on the console using
the svgalib driver or the framebuffer driver, plus it can
be compiled with SDL, and X drivers for X. All one binary.
You can have how many of those you want in it. If interested
also check out the 'Links Hacked Project'. They have their
own version.
