Also you can run        a fairly lightweight GUI, out of the several choices available -- just        enough to run up multiple terminal emulator windows. Give it a try for a        few days, and see how much more productive you can be.              --- PyGate Linux v1.5        * Origin: Dragon's Lair, PyGate NNTP<>Fido Gate (3:633/10)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 200 206 275 300 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 616 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/10 280 414 418 420 422 509 2744       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 633/10 280 229/426           |
