I think I misunderstood your request. You want to find ALTERNATIVES to those programs that will run from the command line instead of running THOSE programs from the command line right? Good thoughts. There are command line MP3 players, how effective they are Im not sure. Some clever scripting will get you a playlist with command line programs. You seem to be work adverse though (not installing fvwm etc.) As far as webrowsers... all I know of is lynx. Be aware what you are trying to do is a niche inside of a niche and your choice of programs may be small to accomplish what you want to do. Furthermore you may sacrifice alot of features that are only available to GUI-based programs such as playlist queues. I said may because I really am not sure. Just something to think about. Emacs will let you do what you do in KDevelop(programming, syntax highlighting) . Im sure you know about vi and vim too. Personally I prefer joe for stright text editing though. Sorry for misunderstanding your request but now that I have it clear, I haven't the foggiest clue of where to point you in terms of programs. As always check google, www.sourceforge.net and www.freshmeat.net :) Good luck to you though. I certainly wouldn't do it, nor would I advise it, but Im glad Linux gives you the freedom to! :) > Eric Bambach wrote: > >Hi, > > I would say no.
