ratpoison on crunchbang

Posted in acer aspire one, crunchbang, ratpoison on July 15, 2009 by lucky

Few changes to crunchbang. Removed gnumeric and abiword, installed OpenOffice.org. Added ratpoison and a few other things. Set up trayer to collect various icons for applets and other stuff on the right (–width 200 should be big enough) and put conky on the left. Still have a few things to do to get it the way I want, including changing the font/color in .conky-rp.

Busy day tomorrow, probably won’t finish/post the #! jwmrc until this weekend.

UPDATE 20090716 @ 12:50 US/Central

Had a few minutes at lunch to tweak conky and my ratmenus. I think I can get that top part of the screen with conky/trayer down to about 16 pixels. May try that later or tomorrow.

Back to the grindstone.

US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has issued an advisory about a zero-day exploit involving the JIT compiler for the JavaScript engine in Firefox 3.5. CERT recommends disabling JavaScript until Mozilla can patch; disabling the JIT compiler will reduce JS performance.

Secunia rates this vulnerability as highly critical.
