A 386 vga system with UHC's SVR4 can be setup for under $3000. A minimum hardware configuration costs about $2000. The SVR4 software costs around $1000. This includes X11R4, OpenLook, Motif, XtookKit, News, RFS, NFS. They've just released their version 3.6. The X windows really had a lot of performance tuning work done, as a result the performance seems to run circles around our SUN sparc1 (forget about even comparing it with the amiga, X on the Amiga is so slow it's almost unusable).
