Just curious why would you want to not use x on a daily basis? On Mar 30, 2009, at 12:29 AM, Juan Diego <juantascon@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to live without X, replacing framebuffer for it, using packages available for arch? I imagine something like DirectFB or similar, using it when text is not enough. I think I could do with a browser and a pdf viewer, but I wasn't able to find a direction to follow to get that. Has any of you tried it already? 3 Thanks, Maurício
You can use fbgs from fbida package to see pdf's, and a browser like w3m-graphics or links-g.
And yes, it is possible.
