Fair enough. I've definitely seen the definition of "X Terminal"
stretched to include a machine with a local X server merely
attaching to xdm on a remote host. Even if you don't call that an X
Terminal, it'd be a good way to use 486s and make X response
speedier.
Also, unless this machine has a crazy amount of RAM, swapping to
something will probably be necessary eventually...
