Working at Console

[Graham Bentley]

Hi All,

I am interested in setting up a text based / console system.

So far I have learnt how to recompile the kernel and get
1024x768 console. I have 'mc' loaded because I am
familiar with that. And of course sendmail is already sending 
mail. Then there is elinks for web ...

What other apps are people using / recommend for other
tasks on this type of system for ;

Email (mutt, pine, other?)
Word Processing
Music CD
MP3
CD Writing
Screen ?

and any other usefull programs that replace their X equivs ?

Thanks !
