I found for most times since all I needed was a shell and a browser,
ratpoison worked well.  Look it up.   No mouse.  Keyboard shortcuts to pop
windows, move them around (panels) etc.   I was using Mutt back then for
e-mail, though... all text.  

I got over it, and bought a Mac.  :-)

Please excuse me, I suddenly feel violently ill...


I was quite fond of KDE3 (Kubuntu 8.04LTS), then I saw KDE4 and changed 
allegiance. I've since switched to Gnome (on Ubuntu 8.10) and haven't looked
back.

If I wanted something that looked like Vista, I'd buy Vista. But quite 
frankly, I don't want or need something that attempts to shock me with 
eye-candy, I want something that'll sit in the background until I tell it to

do something, and won't eat CPU cycles unnecessarily.
