I have to question this review. I've used M/IX, it works. It supports a subset of X protocols, and simply *won't* support many features used by advanced or modern window managers. If you're looking for basic terminal and light X app support under twm or fvwm, you may be happy. Otherwise, I'd strongly recommend another solution. -- Karsten M.
