I have been “using” fvwm on the Sun machine in the office for a while. It was not really “using”, since I was never able to figure out all the fancy configurations and themes. I finanlly got tired of it and decided to dump it and clean up all the programs I compiled under my home directory.

The result is an installation of ION3. I guess I need something this simple. It’s a slow and old machine anyway. It’s the first time I have used ION although I have heard a lot of people talking about it. Time to RTFM now

Anothing thing I am tired of is the fonts. X11 on that machine doesn’t seem to support xft (or even if it does, I wouldn’t do that for performance’s sake). I will probably try to rasterize some ttf fonts to pcf. Sans fonts might look better than serif fonts without antialiasing.

I already had a nice fixed with font for the consoles. I might need one variable-width font and one fixed-width font for firefox.
