About 4 months ago I began a journey through the land of C, and though I have tried to traverse that rocky terrain about a decade ago I never really made it too far. Now however, I have made more progress through that horrid landscape.
Whilst my excursions through code aplenty, I had found myself multi tasking several xterms, aterms, internet browser with multiple tabs, and several consoles. Thus, I needed to find a more simplistic path to gain a stronger foothold and a greater view of all that lay before me. So I began another journey into the wilderness of WM's, and that is where I had found ion3 and not far from there I was guided to dwm.
Whilst, yet again, traversing through the wilds of code, I had a spark of inspiration. So I began with my .profile and gave it a whirl, now with just a simple insertion of text from my slackware shell I can startx however I wish...
Playing, just using my computer, startx will suffice, and I'm off into the wonderful world of openbox.

Who needs a mouse?
(Granted, I'm sure there's much simpler methods of doing all this, but eh, I am still learning, and this is by far no where near everything I've done or learned. Eh, I'm just really shocked as to what all I can do, quite interesting)...
