It's been a log time for me with minimal Window Managers. I'm sure |

I'll get around to testing icewm. |

I like to see the IP addresses of the systems I've sshd into. I work on a |
21 |
myriad of embedded and small systems, so IP addresses works best for me. |
22 |
I'll look at what you have suggested. I'm looking for a default window tab |
23 |
option, like kconsole has, so that when I ssh into a system, it puts the IP |
24 |
adress into the tab, as the singular most important piece of information I |
25 |
want in that window tab's name field. The current dir on the target |
26 |
is also useful, but of optional secondary importance. |

I've read many of your postings and questions round the net on your minimal |
30 |
efforts. Most ideas and solutions that work on one configuration, will work |
31 |
on other minimal setups, imho. I think when I'm done, I'm going to put |
32 |
something up that bridges going from lxde-meta installed, to a feature rich, |
33 |
fast minimal environment. Maybe a list of ebuilds to install and all those |
34 |
little config files and scripts too. After the bugs are worked out, I might |
35 |
even roll it into an ebuild for a few folks to test via layman. |
36 |
All you need is an 'old box', to join in the fun..... |

Purposefully so all (many) of these little tricks are aggregated and |
40 |
documented, in one place, for a first starting point for folks new to going |
41 |
minimal (lxde-meta). The gentoo wiki is my preferred home, but it might not |
42 |
fly there (will see). One stop shopping for a first, feature rich minimal |
43 |
configuration, or that's my thinking anyway. |
44 |

46 |
Arch linux has inspired me as to what user community documentaion can and |
47 |
should be; but I want docs gentoo specific. Not to imply that is the only |
48 |
way, but a fast, cool first way to minimize the time from ditching KDE to |
49 |
mininal environment happiness (fast and cool). |

Your input will be greatly appreciated, as will input from other like minded |
53 |
individuals. So anyone can post here(new thread) or email me privately a |
54 |
list of ebuilds and config file they think ought to be in this little (fast |
55 |
and cool) conversion offering. |
