[PD] Turning on/off an installation

[Alexandre Quessy]

HI all !
Nice thread, no doubt. Will read more later...
My concern is about creating a simple way so that anyone that is
allowed can easily turn on and off and installation. I mean the whole
power, not just the sound or video. Of course, I am more into lasting
installations too. ;)

For a window manager. I benchmarked a bit, and I found that Icewm is
faster than Fluxbox and some other similar (blackbox and madwm, I
think). It looks like Win98, though... For this time, I want no X11 at
all, though.
