Recently switched the colour and highlight of the hands.

I wish someone cloned FVWM and made it not a complete fucking mess to configure.
>>
>>54773201
I haven't configured it at all yet. What do you do?
>>
>>54774289
you create a file in your home directory called .fvwmrc and read really bad, messy documentation
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/app/fvwm/sample.fvwmrc/system.fvwmrc?rev=1.8&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
I think this is the default OpenBSD config, just to give you an idea.

Most of my servers run Solaris, and I've recently taken to using IRIX for audio recording/editing, although to a rather limited extent since you can only get so far with a 23 year-old Indigo2 and slow-ish 500MB drives.
>>
>>54774662
Ahh. Also, what sort of customisation do you do to your WM? What are your personal preferences?
>>54774821
Oh, neat. What sort of audio? Music?
>>
>>54775047
I just use cwm, it comes with OpenBSD.
It's really easy to configure, to the point where my config file is about 10 lines.

I also use most of the default X utilities. You don't need a fancy customizable task bar like Tint2 when you can just use xclock. Same with xterm, who the hell actually needs rxvt? For the background, I just use xsetroot to set a solid color and that's it.

>>54775094
I should add that I used to be a ricer, but somehow I just managed to find pure zen when I switched to OpenBSD and now I try to be as minimalist as I can. I only install what's truly needed and I try to work with the base system as much as I can.
>>
>>54775047
Yeah, the onboard sound hardware in it is pretty excellent for recording from records or streaming services when I can't get a digital/optical media copy, IRIX also ships with a great native sound editor that I prefer to Audacity.

ReactOS a windows-like OS has read support for UFS volumes(FreeBSD implementation)

They also added support for several gnu/linux filesystems
>>
>>54777051
Eh, not really related.
>>
>>54772808
Fuck yeah!
Messing with OS X all the time!
>>
>>54780541
Do you even have xclock, xedit, or xcalc installed? Come back when you do.
>>
>>54780621
I do! I have build a huge unix subsystem
>>
>>54780645
Oh okay, you're fine then.
Have pics or details? I'm honestly interested in what you've done with your OS.

Neat stuff. Which version of OSX was this?
Leopard?
>>
>>54780733
Kernel 9.8.0 so I guess Leopard yeah
>>
>>54780777
Also, what are the big differences between xterm and Terminal? I've only used the former, not the latter.
>>
>>54780810
xterm is X11, Terminal is native Cocoa OS X app, both use the same Bash tho.
>>
>>54780826
Of course they both use the same shell, but even actual terminals have feature differences.
>>
W^X now mandatory in OpenBSD http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160527203200
>>
>>54781350
Not mandatory, but enabled by default. It can be disabled.
