    new wallpaper, and trying to get as lightweight as possible:

    info in terminal.

    Running:
    conky, rtorrent, urxvt, and Seamonkey web browser. I've found it the best mix of speed and looks - i'm afraid kazehakase is just to ugly for me....

    Anything else, ask.

    P.S
    also, if anyone has any other good lightweight apps i should try, let me know.


    Images attached.

    i've liked exaile when i've tried it, but it's a huge drain. the combination of streamtuner (with the streamripper plugin) and audacious was about half the drain, but i have found the combination of mpd+ncmpc and mplayer (for playing the streams), all run in urxvt, to be the lightest and least fussy.

    Yeah - i use mpd/mpc/ncmpc for my audio needs. Are there any lightweight daap clients? I've been trying to find a good command-line one, but the best i've come up with is a shell written by the creator of python-daap....
    Perhaps i'll try and write my own...
