Yeah, A/UX 3.11 was the shit! I've had it running on my Q950 from time to
time. It's scary how well System 7.0.1 is integrated into the UNIX
infrastructure. Apple really shouldn't have let it die. A/UX is far, far
superior to OS X + Classic. Too bad that Apple never took the time necessary
to upgrade what was basically AT&T SysV 3.1 up to the 4 standard, that would
have made it a worthwhile system for major corps.

And on this whole X-Windows is too fat bit. The problem is not X. It's the
windowmanager that you run over top of X. For all of the system services
that X provides, it is very lightweight. Then again, considering that it's
gone through 11 major revisions as X11, and then 4 more as XFree86 forked
from X11R6...

Try a lighter window manager. iceWM, XFCE, twm can even be cool. KDE, GNOME<
and Enlightenment are very useful, providing most of the services that
Win98, NT, 2000 do, but they need a comparable amount of resources too...
