We probably cannot build our own X server for the machine. We might be
able to, but then on some of the fancier graphics options where we
cannot, then there would be a disparity. X11R5 in theory has an X server
for the basic RS/6000. I don't know if it would work on this machine.

It is envisioned that in production, the machine would have AFS and not
go through a translator. We don't have a working version yet and
transarc doesn't have it yet either.
