Re: SWM: Victory (586) Release Notes
played a bit with it live last night. It was nice. I could definitely rock it. Maybe replace my spring partition with it.

Ah ha! Finally, a swm release :D I have been running swm with coreutils on BORK! up until now. Will definitely start from scratch with this again; looks like a fantastic release. Thanks MB :)

Re: SWM: Victory (586) Release Notes
Should come up with a new scheme for the new install. Pretty much using it as a base. Played a bit with swm, but did fallback to a different wm. Cleaned up pstree, got rid of logsave, reduced tty's, purged dbus, and added my main pieces. Still light on packages, ram is low, 20 at boot, upper 30's in X. Even with iceweasel and 10 tabs still below 200. Also hacked env-info to read my include from .Xresources.
Nice job bacon I published this scrot in another thread, but probably belongs here. Victory with new wall, new colors, running swm.

Re: SWM: Victory (586) Release Notes
Tried out the live run late last night. Going to install it on my little eMachines E-250 guinea pig and give it a full on run.
Looks very promising, will post a scrot when I get it setup.
