I am considering the purchase of a used 386/33Mhz Compaq IBM
compatible.  Included in the deal is AT&T Unix.  I need this
system to support X11 and Motif so I am considering ftp'ing
the X source and purchasing the Motif source (ya, $1000 bucks
ugh).  How many days can I expect to spend getting all
this source code compiled and running?  What problems may
I encounter?

I would really appreciate any advice from those who have
done this activity themselves.  If there is enough interest,
I'll post a summary to the net.

Thanks much!
