xmonad

My colleague Cyril suggested (and I guess earlier Yves suggested to Cyril) me to use Xmonad instead of Gnome. At first,  they both were like - dude you should install it: So I installed it. They suggested me some layouts and Cyril shared his setup and tweaks and etc. We started xmonad together and I used it straight  - two consecutive days (this is because you couldn't figure out how to log out - no, no I knew it - it was Mod+Something+SomeOtherThing). And yes, when they saw me xmonad they should have automatically assumed that I liked it. Well, not really. Actually, yeah; it was cool to use an interface like in sci-fi movies but where are the desktop icons, and where is "my computer"?

Now, after long days - thanks a lot guys. Xmonad it the best. It rocks, literally (no rock music of course. or maybe you couldn't figure that out, as well - huh pal?). I understood that the graphics driver was the issue on my computer  - xmonad was responding slowly. As soon as this issue is solved (you realized that after two months of course. but hey, it was such a lightening moment) xmonad starts to perform very well. Even, I changed the console into a transparent mode and used a nice background (which is listed here) via feh.

Here is my current (terms are subject to change) display:

What are those things written on the screen. Trilinos. More on Trilinos to come.
