Description

This article is from the Amiga FAQ, by Ignaz Kellerer with numerous contributions by others.

7.2 Is it possible to use the Amiga as X11 terminal?

Yes, it is. There are three different packages available:

GfxBase offers a commercial version which is said to be excellent, but expensive. The distribution includes different window managers and clients. A demo version is on Aminet. (`gfx/x11/GfxBase-X11-Demo.lha')

AmiWin is a Shareware X11R6 product supporting AmiTCP, AS225 and different graphic cards. A demo version is available on Aminet, `gfx/x11/AmiWin*.lha'.

DaggeX is freely distributable and probably not finished yet. (It calls itself version 0.91.) Source: Aminet, `gfx/x11/DaggeX-0.91.lha' and `gfx/x11/twm_930531.lha'.
