Just another data point. I am happily running Xfree1.2 X386mono in 4 meg of
RAM. The performace is quite satisfactory for running some xterms and editing
and even stuff like xdvi, xhextris, tex. The biggest problem with only having
4 meg is running gcc - page-O-mania 8-P. I like having a portable Xterminal 8-)
(my machine is a notebook).
