I do basically everything with Emacs/Ratpoison/Conkeror/mplayer. Irc/Jabber with bitlbee+erc, surfing with Conkeror, Mail+News with gnus, latex with auctex ... Nothing brings this machine down like a large or complex pdf. pdftotext is not really a solution. I guess I will add some more ram soon. Funny, I used to say: "Hey, I need to update my machine: Doom 2 is too slow!" and it made sense. Now, its: "Uh, I need to upgrade, viewing 3 papers at the same time for my theses is too slow?!". I wish jstor.org offered download as plain text or html, but at least its not doc :). Memnon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
