Re: No xterm (or equivalents) immediately accessible in default etch

Hi John,

You're absolutely correct. The xterm should be "IN MY FACE" every
time I log on. (it does on my box) Unfortunately the linux
community is sliding down the "commercially" driven "one desktop
fits all" slope, so that once all the desktops are basically the
same, commercial developers will be able to write/sell programs
that will play on all linux distros.

In theorie!

What I don't understand is why the FSF and Debian are both going
down this same garden path.

Ack!

Is the goal to have linux users become just as brain dead as
windows users?

It seems!

I've been running debian since "bo" and the days of Captain
blue-eye, but it's becoming harder every day to keep a system
running without using either Gnome or KDE ...

I run Debian since Slink and since the beginning fvwm as my WindowManager.
I am realy individuel and my fvwm-config was growing over the time...

IMHO they both suck.

I agree!

One of the greatest features of linux *was* that each individuals
desktop was as different as that individual. The box looked,
operated, and sounded the way that user wanted it too.

FullACK!

Now it seems that individuality is out-of-style and every useful
tool/program that is not part of gnome/kde is being pushed
out-of-the-way or becoming "depreciated".

This is, why I have created a very huge Archive of debian since end
of 1999. My mirror is times bigger then <archive.debian.net>.

I'm beginning to hate that word.

If I think back to 1999 it was realy great (but lacking in apps)
Now most apps are there but only availlable for KDE the (Killer
Dinosaurus Environement) of the Gnome (No, - I do not like Gnomes)
