I'm pretty sure you can do that with screen, too, but I've never bothered, because it seemed too much effort to learn and it just seemed flashy and pointless. I realised how mistaken I was within a couple of hours of using tmux. It has absolutely changed the way I use terminal multiplexers, and so I spent several hours the next day configuring mine and getting the colours and stuff perfect. I have not used tmux but I agree completely, I hate to use screen without the status bar. I'm using one I copied from here or the forums or the gentoo wiki or someplace out there in WWW land. (Thanks to the person who made it, whoever you are) Add this to your .screenrc: caption always %{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c Also, amongst other things, =tmux-1.3 has mouse support. You can scroll using your mouse in copy mode and use your mouse to select one of the splitted panes of your active window. You can also break/join panes in and out the active window and it has awesome predefined layouts. I'll add that tmux has a readable and even understandable man page and the dev(s) is really reactive on the ml/irc. ps : in case anyone needs a customized tmux.conf, here's mine http://sprunge.us/WHNU - Florian. / For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted. /

What has LINGUAS todo with make? I would expect it in rc.conf near the UNICODE setting. It has nothing to do with make. It has everything to do with portage. Even than, LINGUAS has rather to do with OpenOffice. Has it anything to do with portage at all? Several packages, not just OpenOffice, can include/support different languages. Portage uses the value of LINGUAS to tell these packages which languages to include/support. I have access to this box where linguas=fr is set. Check this output: $ type -a [ [ est une primitive du shell [ est /usr/bin/[ [ is a shell built-in becomes est une primitive du shell I can't see any use flags in coreutils/bash that informs me it will be emerged with the linguas support.
