Just try a window manager on top of X, quite a different approach, and one that minimises distractions in my opinion. I use IceWM because it is easy to configure. A few applications (surf, xfe, pmount, mpg123, xpdf, OpenOffice installed from tar.gz, r-base/r-devel, gnuplot, texlive) and I'm working fine and listening to the music on my phone through a better sound system. Init agnostic (use of the apt-get option --no-install-recommends ensures that), fast, impressive. You can learn systemd or stay with sysvinit. I might even try upstart for lutz. Jessie is a good place to be. cheers -- Keith Burnett http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/osd.html http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
