I’m still at it.

So today was spent at school taking notes with nano, and utterly terrifying my classmates with the command-line goodness. This was a relative breeze compared to some of the setup tasks I’ve had! I’m still trying to work out how to get xterm’s colours changed - any tips would be very welcome!

Also, cmus (a console music player) is FANTASTIC. Pointed it at my music folder and it readily indexed the lot in about three minutes. Thank you @fanfani for the tip!
