Tools of survival

Let's divide the console-based life into several meaningful categories that describe where and how these help to be more efficient.

Window managers

• awesome
• xmonad
  • Worth making the switch from the mainstream stuff?

Server-side terminal enhancers (multiplexers)

--Martian742 11:31, 2 May 2012 (CEST): Should I stick with Screen that I've been using or switch to something better (tmux?)?

• screen
• tmux[1]

Inspiration

There's a Linux Journal issue in the cabinet I borrowed from Progressbar that celebrates the use of console-based tools wherever possible. I kinda like the idea and efficiency on the human side as well as on the sometimes-cheap&slow HW side (my favorite netbooks). :D
