Not being familiar with tmux at all I tried to simply drop in your config (changing only the default path) but all I get is syntax errors at every turn (unknown option status-justify at line 4).

    tmux 0.8 (20090604-0818)

Which is in the Ubuntu 9.10 repos. I'll take any suggestions, but I'm happy with screen :)

my tmux is cvs. You can just comment out the options that fail, but I recommend getting a newer release. It builds really painlessly.

Yea, noticed the newest is 1.1... I'd prefer to find a debian package for it rather than building it though, I often need to rebuild machines and I always regret adding steps like this (I can just stick with screen since it's everywhere for free). I'll see what I can find... Thanks.

Edit: 1.1 package: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tmux/tmux_1.1-1_...

Some commands are still not working (pane-active-border-bg and capture-pane, it seems) but I can take a closer look at those after playing with it for a while and getting comfortable.

yeah, I built from cvs specifically for those commands.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/tmux lists the deps and different arch's too.
