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.
