I have one computer in my apartment (really no room for two), and my wife and I spend most of our time waiting for the other to finish what they're doing so we can get our time on the computer. My needs are extremely modest. I write, and that's about it. My high-tech multi-etc system is a glorified text editor, with plain-old emacs sitting on the screen 99% of the time. The terminal must drive a console-mode emacs, having the appropriate keys, and that's about it. Monochrome green screen is fine. It would be nice if it was fairly lightweight/mobile so I could string it out to the couch and do my writing there while she's at the main console. As it is, I spend an inordinate amount of time writing in a notebook and typing it in later when the system is free. Again, there really isn't room to set up another complete computer system - the solution here must be fairly small. Ideas? Thanks for your time. -- Derrick Baumer - Black Duck Software To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
