Live is beautiful with evilwm

I am a fan of minimalist configuration. When I don't need some features, why should I turned them on? This also happen to my beloved Debian GNU/Linux based OS, Ubuntu. After using Fedora Core 5.0 (x86_64) and it's mouse did not functioning properly, I decided to move to Ubuntu. It was only 1 CD (both can be used as LiveCD and Install CD). From the installation point of view, this is the easiest distro ever. I am just put it into a CD ROM, booting from CD ROM and when the desktop showed up, I just double clicked on Install shortcut and after click something like "Next" ... "Next" ... voila ... I have a brand new qualified OS.

But wait, ok, I do have 1 GB RAM, but do I need all those GNOME thingie?. I don't think so. So, I began my adventure.

• First, I replaced GDM with XDM. I can also used WDM (Wings Display Manager) but I prefer XDM for light-and-simplicity shake


• I changed window manager. I tried Blackbox, FluxBox, IceWM, aewm++.
  ratpoison, and many other small window manager. My choice was and still is evilwm. It can have 8 virtual desktops, Alt-Tab window cycling, and that's the most important features which I looked for. So I changed my desktop to evilwm.


• I also changed my .xinitrc. Here's mine:
  

  
  
  exec evilwm
  
  

  
  Pretty simple, isn't it?
  


• Eh, I don't like my rxvt display. Its font is too small. So, I grab my .Xdefaults and then change it to:
  

  
  
  *font:          -misc-*-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
  *background:    black
  *foreground:    gray
