We test both XWindows servers, MacX and eXodus in beta release boths. We run MacX and eXodus with X11R3 and X11R4. MacX seems a better product, is faster and work fine under multifinder. MacX has an stronger memory allocation problems (your mac can crash with eXodus if you try to open a new window without enougth memory). MacX is faster in B&W mode than eXodous, but it seems that new eXodus version are faster. You can also speedup MacX using rootles option (local window manager). The only remaider problem for both product are button emulation, we still wait a tree button mouse...! We still wait form apple a MacX version with an ftp option....???
