So I use bigger fonts, meaning bigger windows, meaning just about the same effect, minus perhaps some "jaggies".

I don't see what Unicode buys me. Plain old Latin 8859-1 works. Run my terminals with Franktur font? Fun for about 30sec. Naw, never messed with Xresources and its bretheren. Mostly I've just used bare Blackbox/Fluxbox window managers in one of their system themes, maybe a couple rxvt windows, and Firefox. This previous build has (most of) LXDE, but I almost never use it. > > Best be careful, last guy I heard of, putting Linux on a PS3, had Sony > use the feds to nail his butt. "Hey, I bought it, it's mine! If I want to plant daffodil's in it, it's none of your concern." But, yes, I remember when the PS3 came out and Yellow Dog was possible. Might've made a nice system if'n one had some sort of physics app that use all those FFT processors. I don't. > > I think Paul meant a Pentium III (P3), not a PlayStation 3 LOL Indeed! ;-) I'm not attracted to the bleeding edge. I tend to use alternate generations, or more. Went from CP/M on both 8080 and 5MHz 8085, skipped the brain-damaged 286 & 386, got a 486, then Pentium-MMX, skipped P-Pro/PII, then got P3 Coppermines & Tualatins, skipped power- hungry P4's, got Conroes, and one i7-940 MoBo/CPU was given to me which I fleshed out and only use for a major compiling engine. There are "sweet spots" every other generation or three. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
