actually, i use aterm, not eterm. i've found that aterm is a little more customizable than eterm. as for the colors, they're not randomly generated, although that's not a bad idea... i hadn't thought of that. i just have different color tints set in my menu, and i choose the color i want. :-)
Oh ok - cool. Well let me know if you can randomly setup colors with the Aterm.. I'd love to be able to do that.

i doubt i'll even try that. i mostly use the colors to keep my boxes organized. i have a color for each machine on my network that i ssh into, so if i had an aterm script that generated a random color, that'd really throw me off. :-)
There was a post earlier where the person said they were playing with "liquid" and they have a screenshot of it. Sorry I don't remember the name. Anyway, what exactly is "liquid" is it just a theme or is it a window manager? ANy info would be greatly appreciated!!
yeah you do... a period " . " in front of a file is usually not seen by just a ls.. you have to ls -al to view all files in a directory.. it is so called as hidden..
I'm running at 1024x768 on my 15 inch monitor.
The window manager is XFCE and it's running on Slackware 8.
That's certanily the best xfce screen i've seen but stil...
Man, can someone please explain why people seem to *like* XFCE, i know i'm in stuck record teritory, but it's horrible! why on earth would you WANT a cde clone when everyone knows that cde is crap??!!
if anyones interested who didn't know, Sun have offically dumped CDE forever in favour of GNOME. hurrah. now just dump XFCE for blackbox... even if it's a bit linked with kde at times.
