Re: [9fans] how to make p9p/rio the default window manager? (ubuntu)
You could put this in your $HOME/.xinitrc file (plumber and factotum are optional) """ plumber factotum exec rio """ It should run when you use 'startx' When I last used Ubuntu however .xinitrc seemed to be omitted from GDM. A quick google brings this up http://subforge.org/blogs/show/13

Preferably a range of machines: old to new. > Get 8-12 replacement drives, differing ages, capacities and types. my mac's old hard drive, with os x and all my data, has been through 3 macbook(pro)s without a single os x reinstall. recently i dd'd it into an ssd which replaced it with no issue. i don't recommend this or anything; but i have on a couple of occasions yanked the drive out of the mac and into a machine with more storage and dd'd it as a backup (or is it archive?) i only restored from these images once, but it worked. unless the interface is physically incompatible with your machine, i don't see the problem. salman
Re: [9fans] factotum auth for commodity web browsers?
I don't know if any exist out there, but I've been thinking of trying to hack something together recently. I've gone as far as compiling Chromium from source. (A major step on its own!) This came to me after rediscovering WebID (previously known as foaf+ssl) which uses client-side certificates. Factotum would be great to manage those... Salman

Re: [9fans] Start acme maximized
The -W argument lets you set the size of the window. Not quite maximized but you can make it use the same space.
