GUI is for the weak. Meet my window manager, GNU screen:

0. Build screen from source to fix the slowdown when scrolling in a vertical split.

1. This is my .screenrc with keyboard shortcuts and a nifty status bar.  –help?

Control + Up:  previous split screen

Control + Down: next split screen

Control + Left:  previous screen window

Control + Right: next screen window

F1: kill current tab

F2: write paste buffer to file

F3: split horizontally

F4: split vertically

F5: remove single split

F6: remove all splits

F7: urlview pulls URL's from your current output, very useful

F8: new tab

F9: resize split +1 line

F10: resize split -1 line

2. Install screen_ssh.sh so your window title automatically renames to your ssh destination.  To have the title revert after closing your shell follow this.

3. color = readability.  Install color wrapper to colorize your terminal output.

4. Yakuake is the best terminal emulator. Configure these shortcuts:

Shift + Left: previous shell

Shift + Right: next shell

F11: full screen

F12: drop down

Upgrading from a 18.6 to a 26.2 kernel in Debian Sid broke madwifi due to high-latency packet response (up to 25000 ms) and high packet loss (40%.)  Downgrading to madwifi stable (0.9.4) or trunk (07/31/08) resulted in same behavior.

Reverting back to the 18.6 kernel and installing madwifi stable (0.9.4) resulted in proper function.

Got an ssh account on a machine? Don’t waste time retrieving a file, editing it, and uploading it manually.

sshfs user@target:/directory /mnt/point

You can then edit the file locally and, when saved, will do so across the ssh pipe.
