I decided to follow the wiki entry for fluxbox. Simply using `exec |
| 21 |
startfluxbox` was enough to get me started. |

I'm currently trying a couple terminals. xterm is pretty basic, I tried |
| 24 |
eterm based on fluxbox's recommendation (but the package in gentoo |
| 25 |
doesn't have a maintainer...) and am compiling gnusteps-apps/terminal |
| 26 |
that was recommended as a decent terminal app. That one has a few |
| 27 |
dependencies, including clang, but we'll see how it performs. |

Fluxbox is so light that I'm considering using it on my mythtv frontends |
| 30 |
with a terminal that I haven't quite decided on yet as a backup in case |
| 31 |
I need to do troubleshooting. |
