Minimal requirements would be more like 200MB and 8MB of RAM. > 2. Do I need to buy special graphic interface on PC to run the X window > under FreeBSD? You can run X on pretty much any standard graphics card these days, but I would recommend one of the higher-end cards from #9 or ATI. Performance is correspondingly better. > 3. Where can we purchase X11 software? It comes free with FreeBSD. > 4. Can I access xmosaic (WWW) from that PC after I have X11 running on it? Yes. You can use mosaic, chimera or a number of other freely available clients. Jordan
