Bluetile!

More..

Bluetile is available in a number of Linux distributions. Check your package manager! Bluetile is also available through the HackageDB http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bluetile.
The current version is 0.6. You will need a Haskell compiler as well as 'cabal-install' to install Haskell packages form HackageDB. I recommend to get the Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform
which contains all necessary software and is probably available through your distribution. Once you have the Haskell Platform, the following commands will install Bluetile from Hackage: $ cabal update $ cabal install bluetile If you get a message about unsatisfied dependencies gtk and glade, you will need to install Gtk2Hs. Your distribution might include packages for it, otherwise you can get it
