yeah sorry for sounding like a pompous dick

when i was in school there was one guy who was so gung-ho about linux & perl (& lisp)
he was fat and bald - a real unix guy (i thought) - i actually looked up to him
anyway i am always going to promote the unix way of doing things. it's just too deeply ingrained
and superior.
also free software - i am basically passive aggressive about - as you all can tell
i remember when i frist ran a remote xclock session... i almost shit myself.
almost as much as i shit myself when i first saw super mario brothers
"now you're playing with power"
ssh -X (powergod is right!)
i would also recommend running xscreensaver in the background as your wallpaper basically.
x11 hacks. i love em.
