365.0. "X11 on MAC's, Need Help" by CSOA1::HUNT () Thu Mar 09 1989 08:50

    Does anyone know when X-windows will be support on the Apple MAC
    SE? How much memory will they need to run this? The system will have 
    1 Meg of memory and a 20 MB hard disk. 
    
    We are in a very competitive situation at a large university for
    a deal worth over 1300 workstations and are looking for some knock
    off on the Apple proposal.      
    
    The customer is requiring is X11 release 3, word processing,
    spreadsheet and a simple database. We think they are looking at
    Ashton-Tates framework. We are recommending Andrew.
    
    Apple is recommending a SE running the MAC operating system and
    pushing X-windows as a future. We would like to know if and when
    this will be available

365.1White Pine SoftwareKOBAL::GOODMichael GoodThu Mar 09 1989 16:057
White Pine Software has an X server for the Mac - I believe it's
called eXodus and was recently announced in the Mac trade press.
I don't have the details you ask for, but they shouldn't be
too hard to find.

We're recommending Andrew?

365.2X server < 1MB ???CADSYS::COOKALOE, ALOESat Mar 11 1989 01:073
    Part of the Apple future would have to include more memory. I can not
    imagine that they would be able to do much with X with just 1MB.
