QUOTE(G-17 @ Aug 7 2011, 05:42 PM) @Zai huh? ... Arch standard repos still only have 2.6.39? O_o Anyways, what's your opinion on Arch? Good, no?  Ahh i was wondering that too Arch = simple  Uses only 2.2G on overall installation  Performance wise = Pacman is faster than apt-get  But subtle loads abit slower  But overall = ITS WORTH IT  Troubleshooted over 12 hours and now its complete  |

^ Yes, Pacman is faster. PArt of it is down to how the packages are handled and part of it is down to security (Pacman does not have signed packages). You can get apt-fast for Apt, which speeds it up to some extent. Colored Pacman output is nice, though.  Debian can get much smaller if you use Smxi and related for system maintenance, btw. |

Ahh One thing for sure , Arch is bleeding edge and Debian is as stable as rock |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Aug 5 2011, 08:54 PM) What is RatWM? O_o ... I've never come across it. Do you mean Ratpoison? And NO, I don't use ALL ... there are some I haven't had the time to try in-depth like StumpWM (lisp isn't my fave language anyway) and some I won't ever go near again (Awesome... seriously, who codes a WM in Lua?!) and some that just don't work right for my needs (i3). Tbh, I'm pretty much settled on Scrot and Dwm for my tiling and Openbox, Cwm and EvilWM for my floating needs, with the ocassional excursion to maybe PekWM. One WM I always wanted to try was WMFS. It's absolutely wonderful in use, and can be configured with almost infinite possibilities. Reason I don't run it right now is because it displayed higher CPU load cycles than normal when I last tried, and had a habit of leaking memory and forcing the swap. It's still on my -to-do list, though. Try it if you like. No official debs but the main site has instructions for getting a PPA up or pulling from Github. Zai, EvilWM and Openbox are not Tiling window managers. They're still stacking/floating types, FYI
Added on August 5, 2011, 8:58 pmBack on topic, Posting a scrot of Subtle WM from a few months back cos Zai was curious.  ...and yes, I actually listen to Prince ... embarrassing but true >_< Yup, sry I meant Ratpoison. The name is so cool, I might want to switch to it. Subtle WM does look interesting though. But I am kinda stuck on a project. Might go on for the next 6 months. Also, TAFKAP???? (The Artist Formerly Known As Prince) I have lost all admiration for you  |

^I'd say your admiration was misplaced to begin with. Fine, fine.... I'll go back to my usual dub-tech-house or avantgarde-jazz for the next scrot. Can't risk ruining my image any further. This post has been edited by G-17: Aug 8 2011, 02:05 PM |

^CWM-git is in AUR, btw, though it's not very well maintained and is sorta broken in behavior. Best is to fork it yourself if you know how to code/edit C.

^Nope. Calm WM http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=cwmDon't bother downloading the source on that page, though. It won't make on modern Linux distros, and it hasn't been updated in years. Only maintained up-to-date versions are on BSD repos. Once you're more comfortable with Arch and wanna add the cesspool of breakage called AUR and install via yaourt, you can try the half-broken, poorly patched pkgbuild if you want. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41123This post has been edited by G-17: Aug 9 2011, 06:48 PM |

^I know the guy who made that theme (crshd/k33cr, or something .... he's Malaysian, iirc). Your panel fonts are off by a couple of pixels vertically.
Openbox 3.5 is out, btw. Currently only available as source tarball, I think.
