For light-weight hardware links2 -g is *great*.

I have some older hardware that due to age, tends to run a little more
smoothly outside of X. (At least, outside of GNOME and KDE.) I really
quite being able to use a graphical webclient on the framebuffer.

Then again... it was less than a year ago that I finally got rid of my
old Beehive dumb-terminal... and I'm probably one of the few folks whose
main requirement for a new cellphone is a good SSH implementation...

With regards to the whole presentation about the desktop thing, I'm
game. I'll get a novelty out of just going to my first BLUG meeting with
a presentation. ;)

Cheers,
Steven Black

Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

I find the presentation idea very interesting and hope to show up for it.

Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

Actually I like the idea of Mark's presentation, I just haven't
confirmed with him yet.

Thank you,
Scott Blaydes

Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

No one else is chiming in, so I don't know if that's a sign or not,
but I stand by my previous confidence that I'd get a lot out of this
presentation. Of course, if the past is any indication, something
will probably come up the day of the meeting that will keep me from
seeing it anyway. :-\
