In general, I liked central a lot.
1) My login was very fast; comparable to an RS6000.
2) No problems with any of my customizations:
vtwm.gamma ran fine
window geometries were off, but that can be customized
3) The keyboard feel is acceptable; at first, I kept hitting Alt instead
of Compose, but once I get used to the layout, there should be no
problems.
4) A random selection of programs showed no obvious problems:
/afs/net/tools/@sys/hostcheck
/mit/games/decmipsbin/xmille
/mit/graphics/decmipsbin/xv
/mit/cref/$bindir/cref
/usr/athena/bin/help
5) The small monitor size was not a big concern; I still got 2 80 column
windows side by side. The color was convenient and a nice touch.
