From the resident newbie....I use as much space as I can with any given
setup. (And use 1600x1200 on one screen...hopefully...1600x1200 on
another 21" soon.) I still only use 4 screens. Generally, I would rather
let my terminals stay on the workspace I am working on. I frequently
work on up to 12 documents at a time but find that if I use too many
workspaces it is more confusing than helpful.
Cordially,
S. Barret Dolph
And, again thanks to all for making Linux into an OS which can help
someone be more productive. For me, I would pay for most of what I get
free as using Linux has saved me much time. (From July 20th to now I
have used Linux exclusively and have saved approximately 2 weeks time. I
keep track of all the work I do and how long it takes me to finish it.)
