I am in the process of building the X11R4 distribution for our network
of Sun 3 & 4s - I feel that once I have the X11 server up and running I
should trash the NeWS/X server and use the disk space more profitably
but I still have my doubts...

What are the pros and cons of the NeWS/X server versus the X11 server?
What do I lose by getting rid of NeWS - What do I gain by using the X11
only server?

Will post a summary of replies.

Steve.

(P.S. I expected that the FAQ would have a section on this and waited
 till the up to date one was posted only to be disappointed...)
