   Very true.

   And it runs on PIs - even the oldest - just fine.

   As said, X is a bit clunky - but it DOES work, is NOT
   evil and IS very very well documented. It has also
   reached the point where it's pretty STABLE.

   I'll just stick with X. By the time Wayland and friends
   are kind of ready I'll likely be too old to care.

   Heh ... remember buying a VERY early RedHat at a
   store. Took two days but I finally got that GUI
   screen with an "X" to pop up. Another day to get
   the damned monitor/KB/mouse stuff adequately tweaked.
   That was a LONG time ago ......

   But never looked back. Saw the kernel of something
   better than Winders.

   Hmmmm ... MIGHT still have that RH distro stashed
   under The Heap somewhere. Think it was all floppies,
   a number of them.
