I've been trying to get emacs to mimic the popular fullscreen text
editors like writeroom/darkroom etc. I found this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1235260
but it does not work well with longlines.el and it inserts hard line
breaks otherwise, can anyone recommend a way to get a 60 character
column of text down the center of my screen?
I coul djust use jdarkroom..but I'd like to see if I can do it in
emacs.

Have you tried longlines-mode and left-margin-width?

Nobody can argue about style and taste, but to be honest what you want
is not a minimalist way but grossly waste full, sorry that is my
opinion so far, if I'm missing something please explain it to me.
Well, I'd just use auto-fill-mode (the text is filled within 70 chars,
but this is customisable), type C-x 3 (and possible use follow-mode,
with the added advantage of having even more usable screen estate for
the same text).
