Using a cli for everything is an extreme proposition! You'll probably get tired of it quickly and choose to add some fullscreen text mode programs to the mix, like vim or emacs. For a "full featured" console environment, add some programs that use the frame buffer to display images, you can probably setup your netbook to be pretty serviceable without installing a windowing system at all.
- doorhammer 13y agoYeah; I use vim as my editor of choice (outside of my job which is actually .net, heh). I have other computers I use a lot, and I'd never 100% give up on gui's. Mostly I'd be setting up an environment that boots quickly, reduces background processes, and gives me a nice retro place to code in when I'm tooling with haskell or c. I also like having an environment that I've fully optimized for keyboard only. The excel part would just be an interesting convergence of what I do at work with windows, and what I use mostly at home. I've never messed with frame buffers in terminal; that'd be really interesting. Maybe I'll see if I can get to something more fully functional after all. I've always gone pretty much easy-mode when it comes to linux. I want to get more hands-on with the distro

- gaius 13y agoI tend to consider (n)curses be command-line. In fact I suspect that most people would consider "command line" to be more akin to a VT100 than a teletype.
