I would have to agree... my feature list for BL3 doesn't require X -
the links browser does just fine for me. Minicom would be nice, but I
don't know that I'd use it much; eznet seems to fufill my networking
needs.

It would be really nice, though, to have ssh. I can forsee myself
using ssh to connect to another machine with all the applications I
want, as that's what I do with some of my machines now.

Having something that'll run in 4MB will be good; be nice if it can
take advantage of having more RAM, too, perhaps by setting up
additional RAMdrives.
