I tried one of the commercial X servers (demo version) under MacOS and
found it to be even more crash-prone than Netscape... much more.... :-)
If you're looking for decent X on your PowerMac, free, but hogging lots of
disk space, complete with Un*x underneath... then you should probably look
into MkLinux. (http://www.mklinux.apple.com) I'd rather run NetBSD on
mine, but... oh well. Maybe w/ VirtualPC. :-)
