Ok, that makes sense. I guess I was confusing machine architechture with
CPU/processor type.

Would you be willing to explain the technicalities behind that ? Sounds

haven't seen this in RedHat.
Now for a networked system, you'd have to change the DISPLAY env var
to allow remote X clients to display locally, right ?
