You can use darcs or just download xmonad.hs via HTTP. It probably works only for version 0.8 of xmonad. You will also need xmonad-contrib, which is probably included in Ubuntu (I'm a Gentoo user, myself). The main keyboard commands I use are: Mod4+Enter - fire an xterm Mod4+p - launch a program Mod4+Ctrl+C - kill the currently focused window Mod4+Space - cycle through layouts Mod4+j/k - focus next/previous window Mod4+Ctrl+j/k - move window up/down Mod4+h/l - change Tall proportions Mod4+[1..9] - switch workspace Mod4+Ctrl+[1..9] - send current window to workspace Mod4+Left/Right - cycle workspaces Mod4+Up/Down - cycle through sublayouts -- I added this one today Mod4+a - execute an "action", similarly to wmii As for using xmonad with GNOME, i think you can find out more <a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

Mod4+Enter – fire an xterm
Mod4+p – launch a program
Mod4+Ctrl+C – kill the currently focused window
Mod4+Space – cycle through layouts
Mod4+j/k – focus next/previous window
Mod4+Ctrl+j/k – move window up/down
Mod4+h/l – change Tall proportions
Mod4+[1..9] – switch workspace
Mod4+Ctrl+[1..9] – send current window to workspace
Mod4+Left/Right – cycle workspaces
Mod4+Up/Down – cycle through sublayouts — I added this one today
Mod4+a – execute an “action”, similarly to wmii

As for using xmonad with GNOME, i think you can find out more here. I don’t use a desktop environment, so I have no idea how well this works.

Would you care to share your configuration and the most used keyboard commands? I also really like that you have the Ubuntu menu bar at the top, how does one do that? Nice!

For Linux most of the software compatibility problems have been solved but for Windows things are still ugly. I have tried a 64 bit OS and I haven't seen any significant speed improvement.

Here's my comment! I study at the same college, same year, and most of the stuff taught is utter nonsense and crap. Communication Protocols, should have been fun, ended up sucking BALLS. Virtual Intruments!? WTF!? There was no introduction course for this, nothing new here, not the first pop-fly course, then again it's a "filler", one for which I guarantee a 20% failure ratio. Numerical Computers. Ummm... let's just say it's ... different. Algorithm Design. GOD!, no further comments. Digital Electronics. Same asshole, different shit.(What kind of teacher/ assistant, brings 2x300 page books to show us what was done "in the past" and brags about him barely failing entrance for international math olympics at a COMPUTER SCIENCE college!?) Programming Paradigms. The lab has nothing to do with the course, nothing is explained. The "elitist" attitude is only second to Digital Electronics. Then, there's the Autumn Olympics session. :D But that, is another story ... SHIT! Here’s my comment! I study at the same college, same year, and most of the stuff taught is utter nonsense and crap.

I wrote the code in a mixture of English- and Romanian-based variable names, then modified them, hence the inconsistency. You are right on both accounts. `Mul’ was actually supposed to be `set’.

A bridge is something you do when you want to mask more than one i/f. or maybe want to do some kind of STP. they work ( obviously ) thru lo. hmmm why do you need want a bridge for them to work ?
