An interesting option Patrick; thanks for suggesting it.
Can you give us the exact list of packages we should install in order to get the environment you like? I'd be interested in trying it out. I'd also be interested in discussing (perhaps off-list) what sorts of things I might add to or subtract from it for my own use, if you are amenable.
Maybe there's a wiki page on the topic? If not, maybe we could start one?
Enjoy!
