You can run both Unix an X11 for, believe it or not, nothing.

Now for the serious part. There is a Unix, named Linux, which is freeware.
There is also a port for X11, problem is it isn't running on all videocards.
As far as I know it does support Tseng, Paradise and some other cards. If you
want more information about Linux and/or X11 please check the newsgroup:
comp.os.linux

Goodluck
