and it is, is it possible to run both the X server and the clients remotely from another machine? if it is'nt then how would i set it up so that a 3/50 would run the server on it and all the other clients including the window manager remotely from a 3/260 when X is started. the 3/50 takes forever to start X, so it would be nice to have it running like an X terminal. i've tried putting in rsh commands in the .xinitrc file and also using the startx script with the rsh command, but it hasn't worked, X hangs on me.

Get R4 and use the XDMCP support in the server and xdm. It's quite easy to
turn your 3/50 into an X terminal. Someone in the past posted information
about a stripped down kernel for the 3/50 as well, but I don't have a pointer,
sorry.
