Well, I am anxious to get started. I am off next week to teach an advanced
Motif course, which means that since I am away from my wife and 8 month old
daughter the whole time, I will be doing what any red-blooded young fellow
does when he is alone evenings unsupervised... hack away at the code!

I was thinking that maybe I would want it to be a Java only box for now,
with the ability to load other applets and class files.
Still, it maybe be better to use just the X11 stuff, since I am more
familiar with it and Motif, plus, anyone else that wants to use my diffs
would not have to download both distros.
It is Linux, so maybe I should stick with X11.
Thanks for the advice!
(more is welcome)
I'll keep you posted as to the progress,
Robert
