Pdmenu, a simple way to fancy menus (f.e. debian menus)

The LinuxBBQ forums and Git are really a treasure pit for those who like the bloatless simplicity and elegance.
This found is a part of the linuxbbq-tools. Must submit I never heard from pdmenu, but it is simple, useful and easy to configure.

sudo apt-get install pdmenu    ### a single tiny package with almost no dependencies

This is the debian menu :  http://pastebin.com/ELBe1MqU

Make it executable, and run it in the terminal.
The syntax is simple, look at it and you will understand it.

Screenshots:

This is a help/tutorial pages browser, also from the LinuxBBQ - guys, with some additions from me.

And this is the default screen of pdmenu, if you run it in the terminal.

Have fun ;-)

That is really nice, I can't believe I've never heard of this before -- thanks!
