Commercial Intel UNIX comes with an X Server, usually >OEM, and XFree86 is limited to Intel. [ DELETED ] Terry, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to disagree with you. At my last contract, at Navistar in Oak Brook, IL., as part of the project I was running we bought 2 AT&T machine new from AT&T. The model numbers escape me just now but one had 2 - 133 Mhz Pentiums, 128 meg of RAM, and 6 gig of disk. The other machine had 4 - 133 Mhz Pentiums, 128 meg of RAM, and 12 gig of disk. We payed big bucks for these boxes. For an X server they ran XFree86. They shipped with XFree86 on the UNIX distribution CD.
