“But how do you use them all together? This tutorial will look
at one way that you can combine all of these programs together to
give you a fully functional desktop. You’ll essentially end up with

with people, catch up on the news, and more. We’ll use tmux to

replace any of these utilities with your favourite versions. You
should end up with a desktop that you’d be proud to use in 1985.

in X11, running these apps from an xterm window.”
