And thus sprach Google: |

If you search on IBM.com, they now link almost all opensource/linux |
| 20 |
projects to their respective consortium/SF pages. |

Unfortunately, the openi18n webpages seems a bit outdated. So it might |
| 25 |
be possible that, unlike the link above suggests, fbiterm actually has |
| 26 |
decent IM support now. |

Best of luck with your quest. Just for reference, I've found it quite |
| 29 |
possible to run X-less on my laptop for the most part. I browse the |
| 30 |
web in links2 with framebuffer support. For CJK, I run zhcon over |
| 31 |
framebuffer, and browse the web in w3mmee. fbida is a good |
| 32 |
image/pdf/ps viewer for framebuffer. I only really start X when I feel |
| 33 |
the need to have many terminals open side by side, do some gimp stuff, |
| 34 |
or run dosbox to play games. |
