Having localhost.tristatelogic.com after localhost seems to be wrong to
me. Forgive me if I am mistaken.
Shouldn't tristatelogic.com have it's own IP in hosts? Or at least be in
the myname equivalent file? I'm not sure what OS you are using, so it
may be different. I use OpenBSD and we do this:

X.X.X.X		tristatelogic.com	tristatelogic (last is optional)

FVWM is built into base OpenBSD and I am finally giving a real go at
using it. I'm very confused so far but working on it.
I am also going to try to get tmux working too, since that is built into
base too.

Anything I can learn is a plus to me!
