This. I have a '88 Toyota Land Cruiser that still runs like a dream (well-maintained), but still -- with over 240K on it.

Check out http://www.ProjectWonderful.com It's an auction-style online advertising site, used heavily in webcomics (but you can find ads on all kinds of sites).

I miss Ion3. But I use dwm now!

I was surprised to find that no one else has recommended dwm[1], which is what Xmonad (and others) are based on[2]. It's tiling, keyboard-driven, small and lightweight. I've been using it for years now. It's a little hairy to start with,

_pra is right. I use a very lightweight tiling window manager called dwm ( http://dwm.suckless.org/ ). I do have a desktop background, though I rarely ever see it. What I meant was I don't have a desktop in the Windows/Mac OS X sense -- a
