[GLLUG] new guy to Linux, need a few reccomendations

[Chick Tower]

I recall finding mentions of TinyX, but I never found TinyX itself.  It 
may have been abandoned.  I do believe DSL comes with something lighter 
than the normal xorg server, but it has been so long since I've used it 
that I don't recall what it's called.  I do know when you start X you're 
given a choice of what server to use.
