I'm very used to DOS/Win3.xx/Win95 systems and also use WinNT and NetWare, but have never used UNIX-Like operating systems... How different is XWindows to Windows other than the ovious differences with UNIX and DOS/WIN systems? Is it hard to set up? How much downtime should I have? Please Reply... :) Possibly Human, Carl Schwehr
