i ran Xearth on sun long before i heard of linux.  just untar and build.  it
will work.

i also remember the one admin at Lucent (when i worked for them years ago in
ohio) got pissed off at our boss (not a hard thing to do, boss was a drooling
non-technical moron) and ran Xearth on the NIS+ server which a) oddly had a
head and b) was underpowered already.  that was a fun day. :)
