- Jess,
-
- We've implemented the McGill X package over here on our Mono Nextstations.
- I've been able to generate Xwindows on other Xclient machines. However,
- not all the software I use runs clean - Xv being one example. I can't
- tell you a lot more, since I use another machine for my primary Xwindows
- environment, however I can recommend the McGill X distribution as one
- which works for me for basic things. Stop on over if you wanna take
- a look, or FTP it from your favorite site.
