I thought that I read some time ago that X windows has been ported to the
Amiga.  I was wondering if someone could varify this?  If this has been
done, and someone has tried it what is it like (speed wise).  Was the
implementation just a X server or both?  It seems that if this has been
done then it would do very well as an X terminal.  Better so, than the
stand alone X terminals, because of the expandability at around the same
price.  I understand that the Amiga by it self is a decent machine, I would
like to see it make it into the business world, at least as a expandable X
terminal (dare I say workstation).  Has this been a thought?
