I mostly use cli programs (apart from web browsing, pdf readers and the ocassional gimp). My netbook has just 1G RAM, so I try to use the lightest programs wherever I can, and given the tools I've gotten used to, I don't even feel the need for more RAM (except when I'm forced to use Firefox). Here's my list: * Desktop environment: spectrwm - a tiling window manager (nothing else) * terminal emulator: urxvt * ssh * pdf reader: zathura * web browser: luakit(mostly), Firefox(if luakit doesn't behave well) * chat: irssi, bitlbee * email: mutt * editor: vim * Document/slideshow creation: LaTeX, beamer :) * SCM: git, gitolite * Tor \m/ I also have an installation of NetBSD's pkgsrc package manager on my machine. Coexists happily with yum.
