Re: deb-sparc X and other questions
Hi,
Xfree 4 is missing?
Have you tried obtaing it using apt-get? After running apt-get update you
can search the archives at home using "$apt-cache search xfree" or search
for anything else for that matter.
N.B. I'm using it on a leo equipped classic, isn't noticably faster than
xserver-xsun24 however.
Regards,
Peter Firmstone.

I'm trying to decide what OS to run on my SS20, between debian, OpenBSD, and Solaris.. Basically, I want to run a bunch of xterms and a browser (konquerer, mozilla, whichever).. The key being, I want to do it in 24bit color. which brings me to my next questions.

I installed debian and upgraded to woody, but the actual Xfree 4 xserver is nowhere to be found (even a quick manual check of the mirrors show it to be missing). Am I going to have to build it from source? (I have the source package from brandens site. it takes a _long_ time for the build to fail on my SM50 cpu :)
