Re: [ossig] what is the recommendded spec for linux box?

That also depends on which windows env/manager you use.  I uses 
AfterSTEP and Blackbox for the last two years and they are pretty fast. 
 Comparing X to say windows or Aqua is a little unfair since X is a lot 
more robust than both. You windows can't allow you to have multiple 
windowing environment. It doesn't allow you to display output remotely 
across the network. In my opinion, for desktop, X can be  a little 
overkill in most cases but the alternative would means  fragmentation 
of X (besides, there are almost no alternatives).  X was designed to be 
a network centric display environment, and will always be so.
