Console Ahoy!

labels:
I am gravitating more and more towards the console, as I find the keyboard far more handy than the mouse. Also, X apps have a slight overhead over console apps, and I am not that much into bells n whistles, if I can get it done quicker and simpler. Agreed, there is a learning curve, but I find it worth it.
