Greenhouse Thanks for the details about the daemon; is there any benefit beyond reducing startup time? I'm sure I'll put it to use for my evolving "production" setup once I'm actually using emacs. > I don't normally use multiple instances, because I find it more convenient to have kill ring/command history/buffers shared and available from any of my emacsclients, but sometimes when testing a new configuration I will start up a second daemon Well pretty much all I'm doing is testing configuration stuff ATM. Not sure what the benefit would be of having multiple daemons running? I assume if I change a given config I'd need to kill that daemon-instance as well as any client frames to see the effects. > Most importantly, use Emacs. This is the best way to learn. :) Thanks, will do - once I've settled on keybindings that suit me. . .
