Netscape and X. I have five systems (4 NT) at my desk. Three have their
monitors on a raised shelf and one is dedicated to leaving up a browser
window for visual alerting.

Same here, but an IBM 300GL P166 w/32MB. This box monitors over 60 boxes
by ping, a handful for DNS and a couple for SMTP with BB. It also runs
MRTG against 72 interfaces. The pages are served by IBM HTTP Server
1.3.(?). I also use it constantly as an SSH client. I even put it on a
busted 17" monitor that squiggles in graphics mode.

My uptime shows .49 .39 .36. No X and certainly no Netscape. If I really
needed to, I'd use KDE's browser. Much lighter.
