I currently run X (4.1.0) on a P100 with 16M RAM and a 2.4 kernel. I
haven't made a final decision yet on my window manager (an experiment
with Enlightenment was a _big_ miskate), but it runs alot faster for me
when all I use X for is to hold a dozen xterms, and then use them to
hold non-X programs (ftp in one, mutt in another, links, vim, and a few
other programs).
