Hello, i have 233 sub notebook that i want to install gentoo on, don't really want to put X on it, though it has run it before, just want to stick to console apps.
I know i can get links working as gui and midnight commander does gui, just wondering what other apps i can run with gui from console that don't need X.
list so far.

Hi, I don't quite remember the names, but I know that there are pdf and dvi viewers that run in the console (with svgalib, I believe).
You can also compile Gtk to use either DirectFB or the framebuffer instead of X. I had success using DirectFB but couldn't get it to compile for the framebuffer. Either way though, you can then compile Gtk apps to run in the console.
Hope this helps,
