That is what I differ. X is so bloated, we have to install so many packages. And yet, it still require DRI to launch compiz fusion. If we could have desktop without x, that would be marvellous. We could have very fast desktop that could run on very old hardware, and even faster on new hardware.

LFS + INX (desktop without X), for super user of old hardware, or ease of administering servers. But it is also possible for normal user if the setup is very freindly. 3. X windows, for people like eye candys........ may be.
