Not hard at all. Just add an entry to /etc/apt/sources.list that points
at a slink deb for the latest X, then apt-get update, apt-get install
<the various X packages>. Only requirement is that you have Internet
connection. Even that's not a strict requirement if you can get the debs
onto your machine another way (zip disk, cd, etc). Then you'd just use
dpkg -i <X packages>.
