What does NetBSD offer in the way of lightweight X11?  I have a 800x600
laptop of some sort.  I was thinking it would be nice to have graphical
emacs running, perhaps in a root window.  I haven't gotten around to
doing anything with the machine yet.  I believe it is a P75 with 24 megs
and a 1 gig disk.  I've been thinking portable lisp-station, perhaps
with an addon wireless card.
