Yes...X-windows is running on a Mac II, but only under A/UX. Both Ohio
State University and Berkeley have completed a port (I believe). I don't
think you'll ever see an X-windows 'terminal program' running under the
normal Mac HFS software, however.
By the way, A/UX is nice but I'm not sure how much the final product will
cost (you need the Motorola MMU and you should have lots of disk space and
at least 4 megs of main memory). Don't expect it to be cheap.
