Hi, 

What is the difference between Nano-X and TinyX?

For TinyX see:
http://www.handhelds.org/minihowto/building-x.html

As far as I understood it, TinyX is normal xfree86 4.0 stripped down to a 
smaller size (fully compatible to X). Whereas Nano-X is a complete rewrite 
of a X-like graphics system but is not (fully) compatible to X. 

Or did I get something wrong? 

How do Nano-X and Tiny-X compare (in size and speed)? What are the 
advantages of Nano-X?

Thanks a lot in advance, 
Chris
