Guest frew Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I don't know about you guys, but I am the kind of person who tries to scale down fluxbox. I saw this article and LOVED it. I am working on a similar setup and can't wait to finish. http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/581/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugerobot Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I saw that article a while ago.. either Slashdot or bbspot linked to it.. I dont remember... It looks pretty cool, like a hybrid console/gui. What I really like about it is that it isnt another start-menu window manager clone. It's very unique. As great as IceWM, KDE, Gnome, xfce, and many others are, they unfortunately owe most of their functionality to the start-menu that Microsoft created. Not that they all aren't great in their own right!! (Oh my god! I could see the flame war I'd start with that previous comment!! But as cool as I think this 'anti-desktop' is, I would never use it. I'll take KDE (and all of extra processor cycles it may take to run it) any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I prefer a good ol' desktop environment as well. but I've been using screen for a few years now (when an uber::geek show me how to use it) and it rocks !!! the detach is function is VERY cool example: I'm at work and want to compile a new xfree86, but stoopid people keep closing the window and I have to start again start screen --> start X compile --> detach screen come back tomorrow, re-attach screen, and its all finished !!! cool 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 the detach is function is VERY coolexample: I'm at work and want to compile a new xfree86, but stoopid people keep closing the window and I have to start again There is a simple tool you can aquire, it stops people from messing with your system. It's called a baseball bat Person messing with your system? Use bat on person. Person not messing with your system no more. Simple solutions for simple problems. (you see what playing to much fps games does too you!) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear uncluttered console screen ahhh... also gives you a sense of a "ghost in the machine" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
