About 3 years ago when I was at HP, we had w2k machine and one of the
commercial X solutions for window (I don't recall which one). I loaded
up cygwin and X and XFCE and DXPC and had a much faster, more capable
HPUX support platform than the overpriced monster I was provided with.
Just having multiple screens again for accessing multiple machine full
screen made a huge difference as I could hotkey around.
