Can't say I'm keen on it. Like to plot the odd graph and view the odd photographic image. Apart from that, if I had better fonts on the VC's I wouldn't bother with X either. I mostly use the "links" (ask freshmeat.net) web browser. Not irritating adds, downloads fast fast fast. I have just found this "ratpoison" windows manager. I must try is out. The notion of never having to reach for the rat appeals immensely. I use the fetchmail/procmail/pine tool chain for my mail. Can juggle several busy mailling lists at once. Nice.
