VanLUG January 2002 Meeting Presentation By Dale McGladdery January 21, 2002 "Kill the Rat!" was the unapologetic cry heard at the January VanLUG meeting. While most people refer to that pointing device by the keyboard as a "mouse", to Shawn Betts, Ryan Yeske and Jonathan Walther it's a rat; and they have just the thing to kill it: ratpoison. ratpoison is a window manager for people who don't want to take their hands off the keyboard.
