X Windows has been ported to the Amiga by GfxBase, Inc.  The port
was performed by Dale Luck, and the price is around $395 for
the server and a number of clients. Both local clients and
remote clients are supported, since AmigaDOS is a multi-tasking
operating system. X Windows runs on its own Amiga "screen", and
can run simultaneously with other Amiga programs. TCP/IP over
Ethernet support is available, and the DECnet stuff may be
ready.
   People who I know have seen it said that it was very fast.
I will be getting it soon. While AmigaDOS is multitasking, it
is very different from UNIX.
  Contact Dale Luck for more info.

an avid AMiga fan. These opinions are strictly mine, and have
nothing to do with my employer.
