"Martin DeMello"
Any Ubuntu people care to share their experiences?
Ask, and ye shall receive..at least some kind of answer.
I'm especially looking for guidelines on what to install via apt-get and what to install independently.
I'd get as much as possible via apt-get, and only install manually when that fails. Libraries - which is probably what you will need most often, have names that start with 'libghc6'. For the whole list: apt-cache search libghc6 To see what the package is about, use e.g.: apt-cache show libghc6-quickcheck-dev There are (usually?) three packages for each library, -dev, -doc, and -prof. Unless you have very little diskspace or a thin network connection, get them all, e.g: sudo apt-get install libghc6-quickcheck-\* You are then set up to unit-test your code.
Also, while I'm making Major Life Changes I might as well check out xmonad :) If anyone has made the switch from fluxbox, do share how it went.
You're basically leaving it all (window management, icons, trays, whatever) behind, so it doesn't matter much what you switch from. Just: sudo apt-get install xmonad -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
