I was trying a new-for-me feature of mc, which caused the non-X-terminal to hang; and I wanted to kill the terminal, without disturbing other mc running in X.
Previously I noticed the strange/absurd multiple "{console-kit-dae}" in `pstree -p`. See the log-trace below. The absurd-growth of "{console-kit-dae}" prompts me to comment on the evolution of rPi.
I read about the rPi. How much current is that going to consume?! Already the battery-powerability is a problem. Will the quest to ape WinTel kill the original rPi idea?
What low-power open-linux systems are available?
