   X is a graphic environment for Unix (although I think everyone has
   their own favorite definition of what X is).  As to whether or not
   you should install it, it will depend on your hardware resources -
   and your patience, I suppose.  I've run it with an 8Mb SE/30, but 
   I wouldn't recommend that combination where unnecessary.

   Surely the FAQ is available in an ASCII single-filed format?  I
   took a quick spin through www.macbsd.com and didn't see references
   to a non-HTML version, but ...

   Am I the only one of the mind that Lynx is an absolute requirement
   for any Unix/VMS system these days?  A lightweight, low resource
   browser for those packages that are only documented in HTML ... it
   is one of the first things I look for on a foreign system.

   Lynx and dt (or screen) and ... well, who needs Netscape?
