Heya K-Mandla!!

I understand that you are run (and test) your OSes on old hardware, and you are also an Arch user.

Might I point you over to a particular experiment several CrunchBang Linux users have been looking at?

ArchBang — CrunchBang Linux (usually based on Ubuntu)- ported over to Arch Linux. Note: it’s not officially supported or anything like that…

Here’s the thread: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/5988/to-those-who-managed-to-get-a-archbangcruncharch/

Please do tell us what you think of it, I look forward to hearing your opinion .

1. The terminal is running screen with the vertical split patch installed.

2. That’s mplayer running against the framebuffer, and pressed into the upper-left corner of the screen. The rest of the screen is partitioned off to use the remaining space, so it’s not really running “in” the terminal, as much as it is pasting over the top of the framebuffer display.

3. The game is called crawl, and you can install it or play it over telnet. I usually stick with the latter, just because it’s easier than managing all the libraries and whatnot in Crux.

Hello m.K.

First I would like to thank you for your blog and all you share with it. I’m quite still a newbie in the amazingly geek world of Linux and I only start to use and begin to understand how fun and powerful this system is, especially through the CLI. Thanks to you, I’m more and more comfident in using it that way.

I have three questions regarding your last post and especially your screenshot for the CLI-Club . You might have already explained this later but I should have missed it, obviously.

1- What do you use to split the terminal this way? Is this dvtm? I’m not sure since you have something like a menu line at the bottom…

2- I’ve already saw this and now I’m definetly curious. How do you manage to have an image in some place of your multi-terminals screen? (btw, a Scanner Darkly is definetly a great movie, as the book was terrific too)

3- Is this the regular Nethack game? I don’t have vuemeters in mine

Okay, I hope my questions won’t bother you. If so, just remove my post. If not, let me thank you again for your great work and tutorials.

See you later!
