Nice try! What do I use on a minimal netbook installation where all I
have in X is an Xterm and a few applications (using mc in the xterm as
"menue" and application starter? Until today I'm using startx if I
want to start X on this machine (most of the time I do not use X
there).
This is one of the new moves I have to learn (not mentioning the tty chaos).
