Software
--------
I recently switched to Xubuntu from Arch Linux.
I'm not sure I'll stay here, but I got tired of maintaining my one-off
/sbin/init that uses runit.
Linux distributions are all heading toward systemd,
which I strongly dislike. But I figure it's time to catch up
and abandon understanding how the computer boots.
I run Arch Linux, with a shell script PID 1 that I maintain because I enjoy tinkering with early userspace.
It uses runit from busybox to manage starting and stopping daemons.
Runit is a lot like systemd or upstart at core: daemons don't do the double-fork trick, and log to stdout.
On the desktop, I run Google Chrome, xterm, and acme from plan9port.
My window manager varies a lot.
Most times it's Openbox plus tint2, but sometimes I go back to 9wm (which I maintain).
I'm starting to make overtures at Wayland.
Occasionally I kick up inkscape or gimp, and mixxx for my DJ work.
Most of my non-work computer use is through Chrome, which ties me strongly
to Linux, for better or worse.

What would be your dream setup?
-------------------------------
A Chromebook that had Acme and my development tools.
I really like how my wife's Chromebook updates itself,
and how it doesn't need dozens of mystifying apps in the default menu.
I'm actually not too far away right now.
I like working in the cloud, and for my development stuff,
acme is pretty great.
Some day I may figure out how to get Chrome to expose its window manager,
and then I'll probably abandon all of XFCE4,
since I don't really use it for anything other than kicking up Chrome
and acme.
I spend a lot of time fretting about window managers.
Hopefully I can move to Wayland soon, and port 9wm to it.
Or maybe I can get Chrome to expose its window manager.
I kind of wish I didn't need a gazillion packages in order to run my 3 main programs
(chrome, acme, and xterm).
But I don't know how I can fix that, and I'm not sure I really even want to.
I would also like to do away with the FitPC print server.
I'd love to be able to buy a little box that will hop on our wireless network
