As far as I am concerned, a window manager's job is to let me open enough xterms with vi sessions - I use fvwm, with a 4x4 virtual window, and typically have between 50 and 200 separate vi sessions open, and they're organised so I know where each one is. I use very few graphical programs: a browser, a mail client, a couple of games, and occasionally something to view jpegs or pdfs. I don't use audio. I set up X when the computer was new, then didn't need to do it again. The system hasn't been rebooted except for two power glitches in the 18 months I've lived here, and now it is UPS protected. I also have a G4 powerbook, which I've only ever used when going to overseas conferences - I need a proper keyboard, damnit, and a decent number of mouse buttons, and a decent sized screen, and a system that I can feel properly in control of. HugoThere's stuff above here
