It can indeed. I've run X on Suns with 16M.
It's a little painful,
but usable. 32M is enough to be fully usable, I find.
I run OpenBSD 3.8 (I might upgrade to 4.0 soon, unless something
better comes out earlier than I do it :-) on my Sun Sparc Classic. I
most of the time use it at the console and, when I use X, I run Ion as
my window manager, of course. It works quite well, although I would
really like a leaner, faster, more adequate for the hardware, but
not stagnated (I've just learned this word from another email on
this tread, so I like to use here noew :-).
I've written fairly minimalist versions of enough
X clients that
everything on my screen comes from one of my own clients: terminal
emulator, clock, window manager, security front-end, picture
displayer....
That sounds really interesting. Are you distributing them some how?
Are they included on some operating system or (Linux) distribution or
something? Would you care to do so (make them available/distribute
them/something on that line)?
It's also X11R6.4 patchlevel 3, not
"modern" X.
What about smallX (formerly tinyX)? Has somebody used/looked at
it/made an opinion of it? What about of Microwindows? W? MGR?
Cheers,
Angel
