X isn't the only Linux windowing system -- there's still MGR, which
has its own channel on the linux-activists mailing list.

.advocacy groups are always worth getting rid of. I'm not sure of the
need for .hardware since comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit exists and has a

having crossposted to comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit and comp.os.linux just
recently ... :-)
