Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be staying on OpenBSD for a little while :P. I figured out some alternatives to the compatiblity issues I was having.

Thats true. :P Hopefully I won't be too dirt-poor in academia.

I really love OpenBSD's implementation of pdksh. No nonsense, super clean and fast. The OpenBSD way :). Right now I'm using 2bwm but I miss dynamic tiling so I think I'm gonna try to set something up with wmutils when I have the time.

Yeah...I've hopped back on the OpenBSD train and boy, is it good to be back. My habit of tailoring my the software I use to just stuff that works on OpenBSD should be a testament to my dedication :P.
