I am planning to buy a Northgate Elegance 386 33 MHz system
to run UNIX and the X Window System (most likely ISC's 386/ix).
The system is advertised heavily (in PC Magazine, Byte, PC World,
Infoworld) and includes the following:
o 4MB RAM
o 150MB ESDI hard disk
o 64K cache SRAM
o 3.5" 1.44MB and 5.25" 1.2MB diskette drives
o 14" VGA Color Monitor (800x600 resolution)
with a 16-bit controller
o 2 serial ports and 1 parallel port
I would appreciate hearing from others with experience (good
or bad) in using this setup for X Window-based development. I'll
summarize any e-mail responses. I'll also check comp.unix.i386
and comp.windows.x for replies.
Thanks!
