Good practice (defaults, rxvt)
Hi all,
After using Debian for a couple of months
I have a pretty well working Potato but
I feel its a bit "cluttered" with lots
of stuff that I never really needed and
things I couldn't get rid of correctly.
So I did a clean slink install on a new
partition that will be my new main
install. I want to have much more
controll of this new system and am
determined to do everything "by the book"
the debian way. I am not sure there is
such a "way" but I am sure there are
good and bad ways to setup,configure
and maintain my Debian box.
So I installed the basic systm from
my slink cd and created some files to
log all my changes etc.
Started with a dist-upgrade to potato
(yes thats what I want :) )
and have begun to add things like vim
rxvt X etc One piece at a time and it
seems to work very well *smile*.
If anyone is in the same situation
or have done the same and is interested
in exchanging experiences please mail me.

Now for my question.
I am currently using rxvt. (What term do
you all use ? and why? )
The default settings on rxvt isn't very
nice and I want to add a scrollbar,
history, font, size etc
What is the prefered way to do this globally?
I want to create as much "good" defaults as
possible and minimize user aliases etc.
Didn't really mean for this post to be this
long but ....
Best regards
Joakim Svensson
