Re: [dwm] DWM as a front end for a test machine

If you realease it as a "live distro" we could have a minimal dwm
environment under VirtualBox Xen or QEmu. You could run this
environment even inside Windows, just to show a faster comparison. I
always liked the idea of a minimal system with dwm to make people
really feel the difference.
