Hi,

I really enjoy the see through desktop stats application which came after DSL 2.1. The DSL book "DSL - Linux Operating System in less than 50MB" calls it the "slit".

I have never seen this application elsewhere although a variant of BSDon live-CD has something very similar.

What is the real full name of this application? Does it exist for the "regular" Debian?

Thanks,

VS

torsmo is the application name

The application is called < Torsmo >. It is unrelated to the slit, which is a built-in part of Fluxbox and other Blackbox derivatives. The slit is still there, but in a vanilla DSL version2 the slit is used only for the new mount/mixer combo application. The pager (fluxter) can be forced into the slit with the "-w" option, and some other applications can be loaded into it by using wmswallow.

I couldn't say if Torsmo is available in Debian, but it can be added if it's not.

Thanks guys! This is a great little application. It does not exist for Debian Sarge (stable), but I got the tarball from sourceforge.

Cheers & thanks!
