I run my window manager, xearth, swisswatch, xclock, some simple games
(such as spider), and sometimes some Xterms on the machine.  I don't
really find it too slow, especially not after having used a sun3/60 for
the same purpose for several years!  ;-)

I suppose that's possible.  I don't know much about the hardware revs
and any problems common to these pizza-box sparcs (except that they're
normally very reliable).

(the cats certainly get the attention they're seeking when they knock
out the tranciever! ;-)

What's a bwthree?  (My bwtwo is supposedly a model 501-1419)

I'm currently running XsunMono, BTW, with the following in my
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file:

    :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XsunMono -swapLkeys -fp tcp/xfshost:7100
