- The PC X server that was most recommended from people with setups
- similar to mine was VisionWare's XVision. Another X server that
- received a lot of recommendations was Hummingbird's eXceed/W. One
- person had found that XVision had better performance than eXceed
- on his system using Beame&Whiteside PC NFS. PC-XView from NCD was
- also recommended by a few people.
