to use as my internet server and it runs fine when no one's logged in to it.
If I log in and display the desktop remotely it's still a _lot_ faster then
running on UnixWare console itself.
BTW: Displaying the desktop on Solaris x86 gives you a NICE LOOKING and FAST
desktop. But it: takes over the background, destroys the mutliclick timeout
value (so double-clicking openwindows icons doesn't work,) and it wipes out
the command tool window that you rlogin'ed in on AND takes out the console
window (which you can't get back) when you shut down the UnixWare desktop.
