Indeed! Additionally, I'm thinking about getting all pompous and shit. :D

Most important is that you keep your system black and blue, with a 'modern' wallpaper or some sysinfo that tells you the exact number of cores in use. And as soon as you modify one line in your conky, remember to upload a screenshot. :D Your menu should use some LCD-style font, blue on black. The mouse pointer is of course the arch logo. :D

I thinks it's required that I also write/fork a WM.

You got me with this one. Should I ruin a laptop due to blowing coffee out of my nose, I will forward the replacement bill to you. In my case, it will run you bout $17.00 USD.

Things keep changing.

Primary usage: LinuxBBQ Elektra, ratpoison on the laptop, LinuxBBQ Coal with wm2 on the media server. I think these two BBQ spins will always have a special place in my heart. :)
Daily usage: Arch Linux with random wms: cwm, musca, ahwm, xoat, 2bwm and I don't know what else. And now Gentoo with cwm.
Hobby usage: Void Linux 32bit with hcwm, Debian sid with jwm on the Pentium 4. I still have a couple of CrunchBangs around, but not on PCs I normally use.

Maximum Arch borkage, in less than a month! Did an update last night, amongst which were kernel 3.15.1 and Intel video drivers (these are the ones I suspect the most). Ah damn, now I actually have to go read up at Arch web. :)

Frankly, I went into Arch knowing that I probably wouldn't stay too long, probably until the first borkage, but I think I'll fix it, remain calm and carry on.

Or not...

^ LTS kernel FTW..

..though none of my USB works with 3.10. When/if repo-ck changes to 3.15, I'll have to try 3.12
