Many years ago, I had a grayscale "dickless" Sun (3? I don't remember for
sure...) as my desktop terminal. It ran just fine as I recall. (Not that I
had anything better to compare it to, it was 1987 and we were doing UNIX
development so existing PC hardware just didn't cut the mustard.) Later on,
I worked porting X11R3/4 servers using a 386DX20 (8MB) as my development
machine. This box ran X just fine under ISC UNIX, although it was a bit
slower running SCO.
