Guest joehill Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 so far: mail: Sylpheed (faaaaaaaaast) browser: Skipstone (faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasst) edit: gnotepad (faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass) filer: ROX (faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast) of course aterm, duh, everone knows that one. not to present myself as l33t or anything, I just like to try different things. oh, and of course the underdog in the WM heirarchy, Pekwm anyone else like to break out of the KDE or Gnome mould and try to improve? Post your choices and thoughts. :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Sounds good. But I'd hardly say Pekwm is an underdog. Something like ratpoison might be considered such though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 anyone else like to break out of the KDE or Gnome mould and try to improve? Well, I'm KDE free since mdk 7.2 or 8.0 and I haven't use Gnome in a year, though some of my sisters still using it. :D mail: mutt (fast, powerful, incredible....) browser: Opera and lynx edit: vim (anyother editor will fall in comparation, is a fact) filer: bash (but I'm thinking in a zsh migration) wm: fluxbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joehill Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 anyone else like to break out of the KDE or Gnome mould and try to improve? Well, I'm KDE free since mdk 7.2 or 8.0 and I haven't use Gnome in a year, though some of my sisters still using it. :D mail: mutt (fast, powerful, incredible....) can't argue with that! browser: Opera and lynx Opera...well it's fast, but it didn't take gtk themes properly. lynx is the winner hands down for speed edit: vim (anyother editor will fall in comparation, is a fact) I don't do any coding to justify vim, but you are right for speed and sheer power, Vim is a magicians spellbook. filer: bash (but I'm thinking in a zsh migration) what is zsh? wm: fluxbox come over to Pekwm, all the features of Flux and eyecandy, since you are obviously into that :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Oh yeah: wm: Fluxbox mail: mutt browser: links, links-twibright, phoenix editor: vim, nedit, nano file managers: (aside from bash) mc, rox, emelFM, Worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adriano Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Well, it's been a long time since I stopped using anything but blackbox. Of course, I had to tweak everything else to make it look uniform, but the results are great. mail: sylpheed browse: opera messenger: gnome-icu or gaim filer: mc or gnome-commander. editor: gvim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joehill Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 in the terminal I love pico, same as nano i guess. I wanna try mutt, I'd love to read my mail in a transparent term (I'm such a trend whore), but Sylpheed gives me easily configurable filters, folders, etc. Anyone use Pine for mail. Supposed to be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 what is zsh? Is the Z shell. I've done little incursions into it, and I liked a lot. Is by far more complex and feature rich than bash, which makes me feel that I'll love it. To test it type: "zsh --login" and have fun! come over to Pekwm, all the features of Flux and eyecandy, since you are obviously into that :lol: I'll try it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joehill Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 rox yaaaa, I could not live without ROX now. the developer is a really nice funny helpful guy too. emelFM, Worker WTF are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 not me. Pine is for people that are afraid of computers Nano is ok, but I only included it to be honest, since I do use it sometimes, it's certainly not my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joehill Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 not me. Pine is for people that are afraid of computers I know some pretty heavy duty people who would take exception to that comment. I don't really know myself. Any reason you say that, besides liking to cause trouble (like me ) Nano is ok, but I only included it to be honest, since I do use it sometimes, it's certainly not my favorite. it's pretty light weight, I would never use it other than for very simple command line editing (sidenote, see this thread, really improves text mode useability) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Nah, mutt is just much more powerful than pine, that's all - mutt is to pine as vim is to pico heh heh you said "791" (in the other thread) I only find that humorous because I'm watching a Lexx DVD right now and one of the characters is "790" - the episode is "791" where 790, the robot head gets a body and wants to do it with Zev (I'm easily amused) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MottS Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 what the hell is emelFM? emelfm is a file manager like konqueror. Here is a screenshot. http://emelfm.sourceforge.net/images/emelf...in_window-1.jpg http://emelfm.sourceforge.net/ MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
