accidentally touching the mouse-pad and moving the pointer, which would be a nuisance Sheesh. One would hope he has better reasons than that for using console.

accidentally touching the mouse-pad and moving the pointer, which would be a nuisance Sheesh. One would hope he has better reasons than that for using console. It's not that hard to configure X to not switch window on mouse-over. No offense RMS. :) I didn't know about the yeeloong, though. Interesting device.

> I didn't know about the yeeloong, though. Interesting device. It seems to be very slow, has a small RAM and just a couple gigabytes of storage. I would love the idea of a Windows-proof computer I could use, but this is still not it. The larger one looks promising.

  Which, based on what RMS describes, is perfectly fine for his needs.

    Well... It's not for me. I can't recommend it.

I also use emacs -nw on my netbook. Its faster than the graphical emacs and, if you turn off the menus, its a quiet minimalist experience.

It's probably for speed and battery life. Whatever works for you.

"accidentally touching the mouse-pad and moving the pointer, which would be a nuisance" He should just use a trackball.
