A good notifier so that I get notified of xchat mentions or usb plugged in notifications. Now I am also a programming student, so learning a good language for a twm shouldn't be an overkill. I face a question now: 1) Should I take time to learn a new twm, or should I install both twm and xfce. 2) i3 vs awesome! Just installed i3, lets see how it fares against awesome. -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
