But I'm sure you've already figured it out. Yup, after 6 years of using Linux-based systems as primary workstations, I finally did, and dread all those dirty guts of X, and can't help but share a sentiment that if we outlived Windows, we should outlive these awful technologies of early 1980ies either.
