I decided for a time to live in the linux framebuffer console. That is without using X, except for necessary cases.
Actually, it is more easy than I thought, thanks to several good programmes, that are listed here, in case you would like to check this too. Here we go (feel free to complete):
- Unicode Console Fonts Unpack, compile them, and move them to the proper directory (in OpenSuse it is in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts). Then put in a file to read at login the line
setfont sigma-general-8x16 2>/dev/null
- internet: lynx or links or w3m
- Emails reading & sending: mutt + fetchmail (or getmail) + msmtp + procmail + spamassassin
- News (Usenet): slrn
- Text editing: vim
- Text preparation: latex/xetex
- Commander: mc
- RSS: newsbeuter
- Image/PDF/PS viewer (!): fbida
- Music/Video (!!): mplayer (video with mplayer -vo fbdev -vf scale -zoom -xy 900 film.flv)
- Presentations: tpp
- Mouse: gpm
- Chat (with OTR support): mcabber or centerim
- Text processing: wordgrinder
