  Can those of you that run x-win and/or have x devp. experiences comment on
the following points?  I am setting up my home system so that I can run X and
tex on it.

  o which version of OS is it? interactive, esix, sco unix/odt...?
  o how is the x-win performance?  Is it reliable? and what type of display
    card are your using?  Is the preformace acceptable?
  o how much work is involved in porting x utilities?

  Also, I welcome comments from people that have ported tex and have xdvi
running.

Thanks in advance for any help.
