Yeah, it happens; OS gets complex, then the OS starts to ask too much of you.
I think the last OS tweak I did on Plan 9 was I changed the default colors on ip/gping, it defaults to like, red for ping times and blue for %lost and that felt wrong so I would always have to do the toggle-dance to cycle through the colors.
Those 5" rackmount monitors? I use one for a super low-power ARM system that exists mainly to show a drawterm full of network stuff so I can see when a box goes down (and catclock so there's an animated cat so I can see whether or not the whole thing is down). When one of them goes to 100% packet loss, it's easier to see big red box. (Text is massive because 5" monitor usually viewed at a distance.)
(And it's got conky on the left because I like conky; I usually use gkrellm but conky plays better with ratpoison.)
