This computer!!

ibm, 512mb ram, 2ghz ram, 80gb hdd.

My family've got a lot of computers before, but this is my first own.

In ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml (I think is the right path?), then search for firefox and change it to firefox-3.0 or whatever the new firefox is called.

Here too, which theme are you using here?

My first frequently used distro was Ubuntu, before that I've used mandriva/mandrake a bit.

dannytatom: I've got a tips for you:

Press T in mocp, so you can change theme to some more fitting, not so colorful theme.

I grew tired of my panel very soon when using openbox. Now I think panels is completely unnecessary...

Välkommen!!

My computer is tied to internet throught w-lan, so I have to get a network-manager installed throught a cd before I can get internet working, and then I can rebuild the system like I want to. But thanks for the thip.

Oh, I love this kind of threads, it opens for possibilities to change to even better apps that you've never heard of before. This kind of threads also opens for spreading of good software that isn't very famous... yet.

Well, here's my list.

urxvt, as a terminal console. It's simple, config-able, and supports utf-8 (for us with different alphabetical issues.)

Irssi+bitlbee, for chatting. Irssi is a very good irc-client. I like the interface and the possibility to make it themeable. Bitlbee for using msn throught irssi. I don't need a big fat client for chatting in msn, and bitlbee is perfect in all ways, without that it doesn't support filetransfers, but I can solve that in other ways.

rtorrent, my first frequently used console-application. Since I first used deluge and other linux torrentclients it's been my only choice. rtorrent is the only one comparable with mikro/u-torrent in windows.

mpd+mpc+ncmpc, music client. It's nice to be able to shut off the interface but still have the music. If I log out mpd still plays the music. Also there's a lot of possibilities. I've mapped some keys to pause the music throught mpc, which is awesome! Also ncmpc has a clean interface.

Firefox+vimperator, I use this as web browser, which is perfect for those who doesn't want to use the mouse. Make everything with your keyboard, and still have adblock plus and other addons. I like opera too very much, been using both of them frequently, but vimperator makes firefox better.

And at last, my window manager: wmii. It makes the mouseless computing much easier, because all windows puts themselves where I want them very quickly. And it is good for using the entire monitor.

I'd also say that mocp is best. It is, like mpd, a database that won't quit when you quit the interface. Thought it's not very easy to get it work throught global hotkeys. That's why I use mpd+ncmpc, but it's hard to start using mpd compared to mocp.

About the im-discussion; I've used finch, centerim, fama and so on, and there all in some kind of beta, or seems like it. That's why I use bitlbee throught irssi. It's wonderful, the only thing that doesn't work is file transfers. But it is, as with mpd, hard to get started with. I've never tried naim actually thought.
