I have at least 20 servers, of varios OS's, which have the X11 base clients and X11 shared libraries in stalled, but no X11 server. No X fonts, font servers, etc. either. Why would I? I don't even have a monitor on some of them; many are at various data centers; etc. ssh -X forwards X11 to my workstation. > As people have pointed out you are only saving 5-10% of > the size of the distribution by separating out the server and there For those of us with 10GB HDs, XFree takes some very real disk space! And don't say that's silly --- it's what my slightly over a year old iBook has. I have many servers with far less. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
