Yes, server size is a big problem on little machines. NeWS is normally much faster than X on Suns, but I tried it on a 2MB Sun 3/50 once and NeWS crawled. X was worse. I think you need at least 4MB, preferably 8MB or more, to run a server based window system. On smaller systems, you're probably better off using kernel based window systems like SunWindows (aka Suntools, SunView1). On my current system, a MicroVax, I have this: % size /usr/bin/X text data bss dec hex 332800 31744 21972 386516 5e5d4 This is the qdss X server. Ken
