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! -- Naba Barkakati naba@grebyn.com
