-
- I've been using XS3 for a few months now with an STB WIND/X board
- (911 based with Logitech mouse). I've had no problem. Things are stable
- enough that I never run in anything but an X11 environment anymore.

- The S3's should put the ET4000's to shame.
-

- This is the place.

- Not in my opinion.
