Sometimes

30 Xterms doing everything from Updates to compiling to watching logs, 2 Firefox sessions with multiple tabs per, Evolution, GIMP, Inkscape a music player, VMware with Windows inside that only the Office suite or Our Mailing suite running, maybe a firefox sessions as well.

That machine runs a backup DNS server and a failover DHCP, as well as stock CUPS CLient, Xserver, etc... Sometimes I even use the Console (running at 1024x768 with 50 lines) to do some more taxing work instead of X.

Mind you this machine is a 1.4GHz AMD 266FSB with 1.5GB of Memory (PC133 at that) and only when I am chugging along on an "apt-get dist-upgrade" on the machine, do I really feel it.

All this on a 17" Monitor, for now. Still trying to get a Dual G5. Which I'd get a Flatscreen 21" for. When I get that, I WILL dual boot it. Both MAC-OSX and Linux. I just WILL NOT do without Linux. Yes, Fink is nice. But I like my X Configs done the way I want'em.

I typically have 4 Desktops, One for General, one for Admin tasks, one for programs I have open but don't want in my way for now and one for E-Mail and Browsing. All 4 have the IM stuff in it.

I have an issue I open a ssh session, export back to the desktop and swap between them. My mind is multitasking my desktops are single issue. all brains dont work alike., thanx, bill All tribal myths are true, for a given value of "true" Terry Pratchett [link\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/] Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 48 years. meep questions, help?
