So far...

So, I've been fiddling around, and I installed one of the apps that I wanted to play with. The reason I hadn't installed Democracy Player before was that its a gtk app, and I didn't want to install all the gnome dependencies on my kubuntu setup. The thing is, while I find it to be interesting, I just can't get past the pure ugliness of the gtk aspect of it. Its got a nice, slick interface for say, 90% of the window, and then there's this big blocky section with horribly ugly buttons.

So, I'm going to play around with it tomorrow and see if function can overcome form.

My failure of the evening, comes in configuring xterm to be more friendly. I've found a couple walkthroughs for editing .bashrc or setting up profile files in ~, but none of them seem to work when I bring up a new xterm. I may just end up reverting back to kde's konsole, simply because I like its different settings.

A plus is that apparently new versions of Firefox (or Iceweasel, the form of it you get with debian) was actually able to install flash seamlessly, without having to install manually, as I've always had to do in the past.

I may/should be playing around with this a bit more, tomorrow. For now, its time to just veg out and watch more Scrubs.

Did you stitch your initials in me?
