Just to show off how awesomely easy an almost similar desktop as the minimal E16 runs on E24.
It's infinitely easier to create ...... i.e I wouldn't even need to write a tutorial on that.

Making use of a funny quirk that E24 has: It shows what you're typing when you've freshly logged in.
Once you've moved to another virtual screen, it doesn't happen anymore.
