WW and X
Here's the scoop....the project isn't dead it's just that editing WWW
pages in vi isn't the greatest fun and as I understand it with X, Miguel was working on getting Xsgi running on top of linux, instead of compiling XFree, but he's working on gnome mostly right now, so that's just hanging around, also one of the problems is that the indy docs don't document where the mouse connects to the system, so even if you got X working you wouldn't have a mouse.

The mouse connects to the other port of the keyboard/mouse
controller. As far as I know, it is bug-compatible with the usual PC PS/2-style keyboard/mouse controller.

Hm... How about using Emacs' ange-ftp for editing web pages? We could setup things such that we can upload pages into the ftp-accessable web tree.

Sigh ...
Btw, there is just an X server missing. There is a tarball with the rest of X online which should serve well for most purposes.
