	I am looking for the info to convert my 486/33 PC into a unix box and
the possibility/feasibility of its being used as X terminal.  I am looking for 
the pointers to the following:

Availibility of a Public Domain PC-UNIX package
If not available in PD the best commercial source (I mean complete but
		inexpensive).
Is 14.5k bps model fast enough or additional hard/soft ware is needed.

The bottom line:

Can I run X based programs on PC?

All comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Shailesh
