Who Needs XFree86?

Posted by Hemos on from the text-only-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With this review Linux and Main says it is kicking off a project to put together a Linux machine that operates entirely in the console, including applications, without the user ever having to enter anything at a command prompt. The review is of Twin, the very cool windowing environment for the console. Applications will be added over time, and readers are invited to nominate their favorite little-known console applications."

    Login shells are for pussies! The next time you boot into linux, write the following on the lilo prompt:
    linux init=/usr/bin/emacs
    Makes you realize Emacs actually is a quite light weight OS. You probably should have a wrapper program around it so you're not running as root all the time, though.
