[nycbug-talk] BSD on a desktop (revisited)

[William G. Bendick]

If youre looking for a real minimal WM checkout evilwm. 

http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/

I've been using it for years, its for real keyboard jockies. Has just about nothing graphical, uses about a seccond of cpu time a month, has all the important features.
