A day without X

Here is an interesting experience of using console applications only. As you may see everything can be done without GUI:

• Web Browsing: Elinks, Lynx, Links, or w3m.
• Email: Mutt.
• Chat: Freetalk, Naim, IRSSI.
• Reading RSS: Raggle.
• File Management: Midnight Commander.
• Text Editing: VIM and Emacs.
• Viewing Images: ZGV.
• Watching Video: Mplayer and VLC.
• Playing Music: Cplay.
• P2P: RTorrent.
• Window Management: Twin.

Personally, I use VIM and Midnight Commander everyday, links – time to time. I used mutt before I moved to Thunderbird. I was really surprised by playing music and video in the console mode. A Window Management system Twin also looks cool!
