Little helpers

Some of these installed with fink, others with darwinports. Here I present the definitive list of my favorite open-source software for making a Macintosh into an acceptable machine:

• Oroborus - Window manager for XDarwin; can't do much without one
• Sylpheed - my mail client of choice
• Liferea - RSS reader to keep track of news
• Easytag - For tagging .ogg files that I ripped with OggDrop. Using .ogg files on a Mac is mighty annoying.
• Epiphany - my favorite web browser. I hear this preference is strange.
• Emacs-gtk - Aquamacs is okay, I guess, but I prefer GNU.
• emacs-w3m - Text-mode web-browser from inside of emacs. Extra nerdy.
• Pybliographer - For managing TeX/LaTeX/BibTeX bibliographies. Not needed if there's a decent Emacs to be found, but easy to use

I also brought my .emacs file and .emac.d folder from my Linux computers; the former worked with only minor changes. As noted below, I needed a .xmodmap file to map the Alt keys on the Mac keyboard to Meta for use in Emacs.
